Winston Churchill
Image
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill
Image

Winston Churchill
Image
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
No matter. The dead bird does not leave the nest.
Winston Churchill
Image
If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston Churchill
Image
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
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 play for high stakes and given an audience - there is no act too daring or too noble.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Hitler invaded Hell, I'd find something nice to say about the Devil himself.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not apologize for the takeover of the region by the Jews from the Palestinians in the same way I don't apologize for the takeover of America by the whites from the Red Indians or the takeover of Australia from the blacks. It is natural for a superior race to dominate an inferior one.
Winston Churchill
Image
Lobbyists are the touts of protected industries.
Winston Churchill
Image
Some people did not like this ceremonious style. But after all when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.
