Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
Winston Churchill
Image
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Winston Churchill

With the end of the Victorian era, we passed into what I feel I must call the terrible 20th century
Winston Churchill
Image
Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.
Winston Churchill
Image
It has not fallen to your lot to command great armies. You had to create them, organize them and inspire them.
Winston Churchill
Image
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Almighty in His infinite wisdom did not see fit to create Frenchmen in the image of Englishmen.
Winston Churchill
Image
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
Image
A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.
