Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill
Image

Winston Churchill
Image
When danger is far off we may think of our weakness when it is near we must not forget our strength.
