Image
Success is often nothing more than moving from one failure to another with undiminished enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill

Air power is the most difficult of military force to measure or even express in precise terms.

May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen?

Winston Churchill

The painter wanders and loiters contentedly from place to place, always on the lookout for some brilliant butterfly of a picture which can be caught and carried safely home.
Winston Churchill
Image

Winston Churchill
Image
The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.
Winston Churchill
