You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.
Winston Churchill
No matter. The dead bird does not leave the nest.
Winston Churchill
Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
