Winston Churchill
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
Courage is the ability to go from failure to failure with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
The monarchy is so extraordinarily useful. When Britain wins a battle she shouts, God save the Queen when she loses, she votes down the prime minister.
Winston Churchill
Painting a picture is like trying to fight a battle.
Winston Churchill
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
Winston Churchill
