Winston Churchill

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

When the war of the giants is over the wars of the pygmies will begin.

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.
