In the light of EU referendum decision, what's your favourite Churchill quote?
- "To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”
- “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
- “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”
- “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
- “Everyone has his day, and some days last longer than others.”
- “Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen"
- “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”
- “The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that when nations are strong they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are often no longer strong"
- “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak, it’s also what it takes to sit down and listen.”
- Another?
