Lobbyists are the touts of protected industries.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
When I'm in office I always keep Members of Parliament talking. If they stopped they might start thinking.
Winston Churchill
Image
Next time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely love of adventure.
Winston Churchill
Image
A modest little person, with much to be modest about.
Winston Churchill

The Almighty in His infinite wisdom did not see fit to create Frenchmen in the image of Englishmen.
Winston Churchill
Image
The whole of northern Norway was covered with snow to depths which none of our soldiers had ever seen, felt, or imagined. There were neither snow-shoes nor skis - still less skiers. We must do our best. Thus began this ramshackle campaign.
Winston Churchill
Image
In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.
Winston Churchill
Image
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston Churchill

We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end.
