You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do.
Winston Churchill
The cost of solving the Comet mystery must be reckoned neither in money nor in manpower.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
Winston Churchill
