"There is no worse mistake in public..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“If this is a blessing, it is certainly very well disguised.”

“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.”

“His name is Rufus II-but the II is silent.”

“When people tell me that I became President on January 20th, 1981, I feel I have to correct them. You don't become President of the United States. You are given temporary custody of an institution called the Presidency, which belongs to our people.”

“The supreme rulers are hardly known by their subjects. The lesser are loved and praised. The even lesser are feared. The least are despised.”

“I don't think you can be in public life without being called bad names.”

“If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.”

“I think I have a superior brain and an inferior stature, if you really want to get brutal about it.”

“Speak to me as to thy thinkings,As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughtsThe worst of words.”
