Quote

The Pashtun tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian Every large house is a real feudal fortress....Eve ry family cultivates its vendetta every clan, its feud....Nothing is ever forgotten and very few debts are left unpaid.

Winston Churchill

Elderly people and those in authority cannot always be relied upon to take enlightened and comprehending views of what they call the indiscretions of youth.
Winston Churchill
Image
We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am weary of a task which is done and I hope I shall not shrink when the aftermath ends. My only wish is to live peacefully out the remaining years - if years they be.

Winston Churchill
Image
It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.
Winston Churchill
Image
Land monopoly is not only monopoly, but it is by far the greatest of monopolies it is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly.
