Winston Churchill

had some pretty good quotes. Most are still true 70 years later

-The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

-Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

-Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

-The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

-The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.

-There is no such thing as a good tax.

-There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

-You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
