Winston Churchill quotes about
Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

Free speech carries with it the evil of all foolish, unpleasant venomous things that are said but, on the whole, we would rather lump them than do away with them.
We need to be strong in order to avoid war; and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains...

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.
Success comes from continuing to strive, fail and learn without losing enthusiasm.
Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have made us what we are.
There are bitter weeds in England.
Islam is more dangerous in a man than rabies in a dog.
Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
