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

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
Winston Churchill

The essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill

It is the English-speaking nations who, almost alone, keep alight the torch of Freedom.

Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.
