Winston Churchill
The trade unions are a long-established and essential part of our national life. We take our stand by these pillars of our British society as it has gradually developed and evolved itself, of the right of individual labouring men to adjust their wages and conditions by collective bargaining, including the right to strike.
Winston Churchill
I am a child of the House of Commons. I was brought up in my fathers house to believe in democracy. Trust the peoplethat was his message.

Winston Churchill
Schools have not necessarily much to do with education...they are mainly institutions of control where certain basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.
Winston Churchill
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
Winston Churchill
I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.
Winston Churchill
Things do not get better by being left alone.
Winston Churchill
There is scarcely anything more important in the government of men than the exact - I will ever say pedantic - observance of the regular forms by which the guilt or innocence of accused persons is determined.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
The Great War differed from all ancient wars in the immense power of the combatants and their fearful agencies of destruction, and from all modern wars in the utter ruthlessness with which it was fought.
Winston Churchill
Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but heroes fight like Greeks.
Winston Churchill
There is no surer method of economizing and saving money than in the reduction of the number of officials.
