Winston Churchill needs little introduction. The man who saved Britain will rightfully go down in history as one of the greatest people to have ever lived. Not only a formidable politician, but a true British gentleman and one of unbridled wit. Here at The Gentleman’s Journal, Churchill truly is one of our heroes, so we like to pay homage to his gentlemanly magnitude from time to time, and we know you like it too. So we’ve picked 10 of the best Churchill quotes for you all to peruse.
