The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there's no limit to the power it can generate.
Winston Churchill
Image
Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.
Winston Churchill

Men often stumble onto the truth but then quickly dust themselves off and hurry away.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.
