Winston Churchill
What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
Winston Churchill

Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
