“In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.”

British statesman and writer of the early-to-mid 20th century, Churchill is best known for his leadership as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II. His speeches and writings—particularly during the war—are celebrated for their clarity, resilience, and eloquent defiance in the face of adversity.
