"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
"You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life."
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."
my favorite : "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
one of my personal favorites also... awesome brad!
its too bad gave his soul to Lucifer by becoming a Freemason
Ha! My brother named his dog Winston, after him. and my dad is totally gay for Winston Churchill
he is in many ways a great man, but one must avoid hero worship. after all, his treatment of the "empire" i.e. India and Ireland were pretty shameful. what he did for england during the war was undeniably admirable. although he was kicked out of power in 1946 by the english people, he is still a person to study and emulate.
way to butcher
"You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life."
