Quote

My hope is that the generous instincts of unity will not depart from us...[so that we] become the prey of the little folk who exist in every country and who frolic alongside the Juggernaut car of war to see what fun or notoriety they can extract from the proceedings.

Winston Churchill
Image
I know of no case where a man added to his dignity by standing on it.
Winston Churchill

Is it possible to get another key? I think I've left mine in the room.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall not fail or falter we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
Image
No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.
Winston Churchill
Image
I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment - and yet - I can't help it - I enjoy every second of it.
Winston Churchill

Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.
