To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill
I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.
Winston Churchill
Study history, study history. In history lie all the secrets of statecraft.

If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Winston Churchill
