      INTRODUCTION

      Winston Churchill is a name known across the world and one of the most revered leaders in history. Naturally, he is probably best known for being such as instrumental part of the defence of Britain during World War II.

      However, as well as being a great leader, Churchill was also known for his many well-publicised quotes, providing a thought-provoking, interesting and humorous look into the mind of this unique personality.

      This book brings together some of the best of these quotes, from his opinions on war to his general philosophy on life.

      Though these quotes are from a lifetime ago, many hold as true today as the day on which he said them.
