Quote

There comes into the life of every man a task for which he and he alone is uniquely suited. What a shame if that moment finds him either unwilling or unprepared for that which would become his finest hour.

The price of greatness is responsibility.
Winston Churchill
Image

May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen?

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
Winston Churchill

He has to conceal what he would most wish to make public, and make public what he would most wish to conceal.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
Image
I was on the whole considerably discouraged by my school days... It is not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the very beginning of the race.
Winston Churchill
Image
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
