A good party man puts his party above himself and his country above his party.
Winston Churchill
The trade unions are a long-established and essential part of our national life. We take our stand by these pillars of our British society as it has gradually developed and evolved itself, of the right of individual labouring men to adjust their wages and conditions by collective bargaining, including the right to strike.
Winston Churchill
I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial... I thought I knew a good deal about it all, I was sure I should not fail.
Winston Churchill
Science should be on tap, not on top.
Winston Churchill
The jury system has come to stand for all we mean by English justice. The scrutiny of 12 honest jurors provides defendants and plaintiffs alike a safeguard from arbitrary perversion of the law.
Winston Churchill
I hope I shall never see the day when the Force of Right is deprived of the Right of Force.
Winston Churchill
Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.
Winston Churchill
