GREAT!!! We are in serious need of a Churchill NOW.
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
that seems to be popular. Of course you must make unpopular choices to join that club.
Great quote collection with the sublte comments. Makes the weekend easier.
That victory quote is prophetic for our times.
Great post. Now I need a cigar... a "Churchill".
All great quotes. Churchill was a great man, and his wisdom is timeless.
where is the gang hanging out warren?
I love them all, Nanc, but especially this one: ""When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber." How appropriate is that?
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Don't know EB, I suspect they're plotting something or figuring out what the secret sign is going to be.
I prefer, "no solicitors" but some might prefer "no parking">

Yield? No, Stop!
"Liquor in the front, poker in the rear"
they had to drag me back, kicking and screaming *;[
great post guys!!
"Get your live bait and sushi, here" or "Eat here and get gas!"
Where is our Churchill right now? We need him bigtime. Every day I see my country dying bit by bit--and nobody with the stones enough to do a damn thing about it.
Florian, Churchill was vilified as a warmonger before the war and after the war. he was only allowed to step in and fill a vacuum after it had become apparent that the Nazis fully intended to destroy England as well as gobble up the rest of Europe.
Even in this day and age. The leftists still vilify him and attempt to smear him. Recently, he was accused of harboring Anti-Semitic feelings because of an unpublished article in his library. The problem is that he didn't write the article. Someone he had hired had written the article and he had made sure it wasn't published.
The moment hasn't come but we must remain ready. We can only hope that a person with conviction of character will step forward to fill those shoes and when they do, they will be standing on the shoulders of a giant!
Berty, how about, "don't stand on the sushi"?
i would never stand on sushi, no matter how beautiful it would make the bottom of my feet.
Cats would follow you to the gates of heckydurn!
