Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
Socialism would gather all power to the supreme party and party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of civil servants no longer servants, no longer civil.
Winston Churchill
Image
Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
Winston Churchill
Image
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shape our homes and then our homes shape us.

The United States abd usually be reiled on to do the right thing, but only after they have tried all the other alternatives.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only guide to a man's conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions.
