"Democracy means that when there's a knock..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Give me the facts, and I will twist them the way I want, to suit my argument.”

“Even the most eminent persons are subject to the laws of gravity.”

“Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.”

“In the United States, if 43 percent of eligible voters do not vote, then democracy is weakened.”

“We mustn't be stiff and stand-off, you know. We must be thoroughly democratic, and patronize everybody without distinction of class.”

“The master minds of all nations, in all ages, have sprung in affluent multitude from the mass of the nations, and from the mass of the nation only-not from its privileged classes.”

“If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.”

“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.”

“With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?”
