Winston Churchill
Image
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
Image
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
Image
There never will be enough for everything while the world goes on. The more that is given the more there will be needed.
Winston Churchill

I love to learn but I do not want to be taught
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained.
Winston Churchill
Image
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
