Winston Churchill
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Winston Churchill
The Russians will try all the rooms in a house, enter those that are not locked, and when they come to one that cannot be broken into, they will withdraw and invite you to dine genially that same evening.
Winston Churchill
The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.
Winston Churchill
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
Winston Churchill
Men and kings must be judged in the testing moments of their lives. Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Winston Churchill
Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of the Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews.
Winston Churchill
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Winston Churchill
