Winston Churchill
Far be it from me to paint a rosy picture of the future...But I should be failing in my duty if, on the other side, I were not to convey the true impression, that this great nation is getting into its war stride.
Winston Churchill

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure.
Winston Churchill
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don't believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it.
Winston Churchill
History is written by the victors.
Winston Churchill
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
... I think it would be so much better for me to learn something which would be useful to me in the army, as well as affording me exercise and amusement.
Winston Churchill
Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure and those whose work and pleasure are one.
Winston Churchill
