Don't argue about the difficulties. The difficulties will argue for themselves.
Winston Churchill
Image
Hasty work and premature decisions may lead to penalties out of all proportion to the issues immediately involved.
Winston Churchill
Image
The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do think unpunctuality is a vile habit, and all my life I have tried to break myself of it.
Winston Churchill
Image
