Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.
From Winston Churchill
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Never give in - never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
No idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered with a searching but at the same time a steady eye.
