What is the true and original root of Dutch aversion to British rule? It is the abiding fear and hatred of the movement that seeks to place the native on a level with the white man ... the Kaffir is to be declared the brother of the European, to be constituted his legal equal, to be armed with political rights.

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
Image
And what a plan! This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever occurred.
Winston Churchill
Image
With integrity, nothing else counts. Without integrity, nothing else counts.
Winston Churchill
Image
The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny.
Winston Churchill
Image
No idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered with a searching but at the same time a steady eye.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Image
Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.
Winston Churchill
Image
I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.

The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
