Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
Image
Those who plan do better than those who do not plan, even should they rarely stick to their plan.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I warned them [the French] that Britain would fight on alone whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided Cabinet, In three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken. Some chicken! Some neck!
