Winston Churchill
Perfectionism spells paralysis.
Winston Churchill
A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.
Winston Churchill
I do not apologize for the takeover of the region by the Jews from the Palestinians in the same way I don't apologize for the takeover of America by the whites from the Red Indians or the takeover of Australia from the blacks. It is natural for a superior race to dominate an inferior one.
Winston Churchill
The chief aim of wisdom is to enable one to bear with the stupidity of the ignorant.
Winston Churchill
In Critical and baffling situations, it is always best to return to first principle and simple action
Winston Churchill
