Mirabelle and Vesta have plenty in common because they are facing descrimination in different ways, but they're also a nice contrast. ~ Sara Sheridan
Vesta Churchill quotes by Sara Sheridan
Whereas Mirabelle is tall, thin and sad, Vesta is physically and emotionally her opposite. ~ Sara Sheridan
Vesta Churchill quotes by Sara Sheridan
They were targeting those people I referred to as 'little Eichmanns.' These were legitimate targets. ~ Ward Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Ward Churchill
Consider the great Samuel Clemens. Huckleberry Finn is one of the few books that all American children are mandated to read: Jonathan Arac, in his brilliant new study of the teaching of Huck, is quite right to term it 'hyper-canonical.' And Twain is a figure in American history as well as in American letters. The only objectors to his presence in the schoolroom are mediocre or fanatical racial nationalists or 'inclusivists,' like Julius Lester or the Chicago-based Dr John Wallace, who object to Twain's use - in or out of 'context' - of the expression 'nigger.' An empty and formal 'debate' on this has dragged on for decades and flares up every now and again to bore us. But what if Twain were taught as a whole? He served briefly as a Confederate soldier, and wrote a hilarious and melancholy account, The Private History of a Campaign That Failed. He went on to make a fortune by publishing the memoirs of Ulysses Grant. He composed a caustic and brilliant report on the treatment of the Congolese by King Leopold of the Belgians. With William Dean Howells he led the Anti-Imperialist League, to oppose McKinley's and Roosevelt's pious and sanguinary war in the Philippines. Some of the pamphlets he wrote for the league can be set alongside those of Swift and Defoe for their sheer polemical artistry. In 1900 he had a public exchange with Winston Churchill in New York City, in which he attacked American support for the British war in South Africa and British support for the American war ~ Christopher Hitchens
Vesta Churchill quotes by Christopher Hitchens
There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world; and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Tidiness is a virtue, symmetry is often a constituent of beauty ... ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
There are few words which are used more loosely than the word "Civilization." What does it mean? It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot and tyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and independent courts of justice in which over long periods those laws are maintained. That is Civilization - and in its soil grow continually freedom, comfort, and culture. When Civilization reigns, in any country, a wider and less harassed life is afforded to the masses of the people. The traditions of the past are cherished, and the inheritance bequeathed to us by former wise or valiant men becomes a rich estate to be enjoyed and used by all. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Books, in all their variety, offer the human intellect the means whereby civilisation may be carried triumphantly forward. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
At the beginning of this War megalomania was the only form of sanity. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
If Churchill recommends optimism, who are you or I to quibble? ~ Anthony Weston
Vesta Churchill quotes by Anthony Weston
Success always demands a greater effort. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
There is no working middle course in wartime. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Champagne is the wine of civilization and the oil of government. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
How are you off for drink? We have got everything in the world on board here. Can you catch?' and almost immediately a large bottle of champagne was thrown from the gunboat to the shore. It fell in the waters of the Nile, but happily where a gracious Providence decreed them to be shallow and the bottom soft. I nipped into the water up to my knees, and reaching down seized the precious gift which we bore in triumph back to our mess.

This kind of war was full of fascinating thrills. It was not like the Great War. Nobody expected to be killed. Here and there in every regiment or battalion, half a dozen, a score, at the worst thirty or fourty, would pay forfeit; but to the great mass of those who took part in the little wars of Britain in those vanished and light-hearted days, this was only a sporting element in a splendid game. Most of us were fated to se a war where the hazards were reversed, where death was the general expectation and severe wounds were counted as lucky escapes, where whole brigades were shorn away under the steel flail of artillery and machine-guns, where the survivors of one tornado knew that they would certainly be consumed in the next or the next after that.

Everything depends upon the scale of events. We young men who lay down to sleep that night within three miles of 60,000 well-armed fanatical Dervishes, expecting every moment their violent onset or inrush and sure of fighting at latest with the dawn – we may perhaps be pardoned if ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
People have a bad habit of blaming the victims. Damn Jews! If hadn't been for them the Nazis wouldn't have exterminated 'em all! ~ Ward Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Ward Churchill
MacDonald has the gift of compressing the largest amount of words into the smallest amount of thought. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
These two great organisations of the English-speaking democracies, the British Empire and the United States, will have to be somewhat mixed up together in some affairs for mutual and general advantage. I do not view the process with any misgivings. I could not stop it if I wished. Let it roll on full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands, and better days. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Any idiot can see something wrong. But can you see what is right? ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
History will be kind to me for I have written it. Winston Churchill ~ Ron Mayes
Vesta Churchill quotes by Ron Mayes
Fancy living in one of these streets, never seeing anything beautiful, never eating anything savoury, never saying anything clever! ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Twigs and beetles and dead body. Water and blood. You'll never get back. ~ Caryl Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Caryl Churchill
The most important thing about education is appetite. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
One of the marvelous things about Churchill is that whatever he was doing, whether fighting or arguing or despairing or bouncing about full of energy, jokes are never far away. ~ Paul Johnson
Vesta Churchill quotes by Paul Johnson
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
[Should Britain fail, then the entire world would] sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister ... by the lights of perverted science. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
I don't write huge books any more. I used to write 1,000 printed pages, but now I write short books. I did one on Napoleon, 50,000 words - enjoyed doing that. He was a baddie. I did one on Churchill, which was a bestseller in New York, I'm glad to say. 50,000 words. He was a goodie. ~ Paul Johnson
Vesta Churchill quotes by Paul Johnson
Air power can either paralyze the enemy's military action or compel him to devote to the defense of his bases and communications a share of his straitened resources far greater that what we need in the attack. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
The jury system has come to stand for all we mean by English justice. The scrutiny of 12 honest jurors provides defendants and plaintiffs alike a safeguard from arbitrary perversion of the law. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
One of the most important signs of the existence of a democracy is that when there is a knock at the door at 5 in the morning, one is completely certain that it is the milkman. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill had grasped Eisenhower's hand and told him, with tears in his eyes, I am with you to the end, and if it fails we will go down together. ~ Robert M. Edsel
Vesta Churchill quotes by Robert M. Edsel
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
The power of an air force is terrific when there is nothing to oppose it. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
There is required for the composition of a great commander not only massive common sense and reasoning power, not only imagination, but also an element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper-no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Hardly anyone will print an attack on Stalin, but it is quite safe to attack Churchill, at ~ George Orwell
Vesta Churchill quotes by George Orwell
Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Winston Churchill once said "Never Give Up", little pause..... "Never Give Up" and again pause.... "Never Give Up". This 9 Words, said about success (Bob Proctor from Confidence!) ~ Deyth Banger
Vesta Churchill quotes by Deyth Banger
History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. What is the worth of all this? The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
What is our policy? ... to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Even the most eminent persons are subject to the laws of gravity. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Bolshevism is not a policy; it is a disease. It is not a creed; it is a pestilence. It presents all the characteristics of a pestilence. It breaks out with great suddenness; it is violently contagious; it throws people into a frenzy of excitement; it spreads with extraordinary rapidity; the mortality is terrible; so that, after a while, like other pestilences, the disease tends to wear itself out. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated; we should probably make another set of mistakes. ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
I did not think I would make the grade. ~ Clive Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Clive Churchill
Thr truth is inconvertible.
Malice may attack it
and ignorance may deride it,
but in the end,
there it is ... ~ Winston Churchill
Vesta Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
When the Carlton Club, A Conservative Party bastion in London, was badly damaged by bombs and Churchill remarked that he was surprised that no one had been killed, a Labor Party official replied, "The devil looks after his own. ~ Philip Seib
