Winston Churchill

"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage."

"It would be a great reform in politics if wisdom could be made to spread as easily and as rapidly as folly."

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
