"Democracy is an awful way to run..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an ever smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose”

“No one can understand history without continually relating the long periods which are constantly mentioned to the experiences of our own short lives.”

“If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.”

“No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise.”

“My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.”

“Democracy means that if the doorbell rings in the early hours, it is likely to be the milkman.”

“It is a maxim of wise government to treat people not as they should be but as they actually are.”

“Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.”

“The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, or the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest; but governments which rule with a view to the private interest, whether of the one or of the few, or of the many, are perversions. For the members of a state, if they are truly citizens, ought to participate in its advantages.”
