IM Winston Churchill 24 Jan 1965

As a student I saw his state funeral procession on its way to St Pauls.


Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful ~ Winston Churchill 1874-1965

Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.  - Winston Churchill, 1874 - 1965

To have had an intense antagonism with an honoured friend on a supreme issue, without losing either his friendship or comprehension, has in it some enduring elements of comfort as one looks back along the lengthening, fading track of life. --  -- Winston Churchill, "John Morley" _Great Contemporaries_, 1937

In time of war, when truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.-- Winston Churchill, remark at Teheran, 1943.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.- Winston Churchill, 1874 - 1965
