And my belief, although I feel alone, and please forgive if I offend:
There are causes
Worth dying for
That is not the problem
The problem is
There are no causes
Worth killing for

Churchill could really turn a phrase. Not always nobly, though.
Matron, to Churchill: If I were married to you, I would put poison in your tea!
Churchill: Madam, if I were married to you, I would drink it.

On another occasion, somebody pointed out to him a certain gentleman, and remarked how much humility that man possessed.
Churchill: That is because he has so much to be humble about.

An optimist believes that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist is afraid that he might be right.

For everything you do there will be either praise or criticism.

Thomas, the reply was "Must have been your lifelong ambition"  Good one though!

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
