Winston Churchill
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill
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
It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don't believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it.
Winston Churchill
Expert knowledge is limited knowledge
Winston Churchill
But who in war will not have his laugh amid the skulls?
Winston Churchill
