Winston Churchill hade talets gåva...

Jag älskar citat. Jag suger åt mig dem som en svamp. Jag samlar på dem. Ja, jag är helt enkelt en citatsamlare. En människa som hade talets gåva var Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965). Här nedan är några av hans briljanta citat.

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."

"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

"My opponent is a sheep in a sheep's clothing."

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

"It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required."

"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events."

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

"There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true."

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
