Image
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.

The head cannot take in more than the seat can endure.
Winston Churchill

Any idiot can see something wrong. But can you see what is right?

Winston Churchill
Image
Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is better to do the wrong thing that to do nothing.
Winston Churchill
Image
Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
Winston Churchill
