If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
From Winston Churchill
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
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.
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
