CytatySir Winston ChurchillBritish politician (1874 - 1965).... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril. A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all. Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself. From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into a even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill- designed for the purpose. |
