What kind of people do they [the Japanese] think we are?
Winston Churchill
Image
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill

Writing a book is an adventure.
Winston Churchill
Image
People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
