More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
A sheep in sheep's clothing.
Winston Churchill
More than 80 per cent of the British casualties of the Great War were English. More than 80 per cent of the taxation is paid by the English taxpayers. We are entitled to mention these facts, and to draw authority and courage from them.
Winston Churchill
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
The reservist is twice the citizen.
