Here's a quote for you....

[Drummond]

.. I hope Revelarts is taking notes ...

Always be on guard against tyranny, whatever shape it may assume.

Any clever person can make plans for winning a war if he has no responsibility for carrying them out.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory – victory at all costs, victory in spite of terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. [This one was in preparation for the anticipated struggle against Nazism, just months before the London Blitz of 1940]

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender. [The proper attitude against an implacable enemy, I suggest ..]

We must be careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations. [ Obama should've heeded that one, rather than pull troops out of Iraq !!]

I am a man of simple tastes—I am quite easily satisfied with the best of everything.

[Gunny]

“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.”
― Sam Levenson

Never look down on someone unless it's to offer them a hand up.

as you often do, you fail to take in the whole picture and only see what you want.
more Churchill quote


"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."
Winston Churchill


"If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law."
Winston Churchill

"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
Winston Churchill


"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
Winston Churchill

"Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter."
Winston Churchill

"We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it."
Winston Churchill

"Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization."
Winston Churchill

"To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war."
Winston Churchill


these last 2 i ask you to reflect on.

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

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
Winston Churchill

~ "*I'm* the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, freedom of choice. I'm

the kind if guy who would sit in the greasy spoon and think "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the big

rack of Barbecued spare ribs with the side order of gravy fries?"

...... I *want* high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese alright? I want to smoke a

Cuban cigar the size of Cincinatti in a non-smoking section. I wanna run around naked with green jell-o all

over my body reading a Playboy magazine. Why? Because maybe I feel the need to okay pal?" ~

*Remember the movie this quote came from?

@revelarts

.. and you DON'T ?

I have a right to choose what quotes I append here. As do you.

Suggest you stop trying to score argumentative points and stick to the thread's purpose !

[Drummond]

In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.

I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine.

Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.

Consensus: “The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?'

Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.

To those waiting with bated breath for that favourite media catchphrase, the U-turn, I have only this to say, ‘You turn if you want; the lady’s not for turning'

[Perianne]

All from the great Thomas Sowell

"Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?"

"There are few talents more richly rewarded with both wealth and power, in countries around the world, than the ability to convince backward people that their problems are caused by other people who are more advanced."

"Civilization has been aptly called a 'thin crust over a volcano.' The anointed are constantly picking at that crust."

"We seem to be moving steadily in the direction of a society where no one is responsible for what he himself did, but we are all responsible for what somebody else did, either in the present or in the past."

” For the anointed, traditions are likely to be seen as the dead hand of the past, relics of a less enlightened age, and not as the distilled experience of millions who faced similar human vicissitudes before.”

"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good."

"One of the consequences of such notions as ‘entitlements’ is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence."
