There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.
Winston Churchill

Do what you like, but like what you do.
Winston Churchill

Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Europe were once united in the sharing of its common inheritance there would be no limit to the happiness, the prosperity, and the glory which its three or four million people would enjoy.
Winston Churchill
Image
History unfolds itself by strange and unpredictable paths. We have little control over the future and none at all over the past.
Winston Churchill
Image
Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
Image
One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who have only opinions.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.

Don't give your son money. As far as you can afford it, give him horses.
