Written by Winston Churchill

Narrated by Helle Waahlberg

Sir Winston Churchill var en britisk statsmann, taler og forfatter som som statsminister samlet det britiske folket under andre verdenskrig og ledet England til en alliert seier. Churchills 'bulldog' ånd virket å oppsummere stemningen i det britiske folk selv under dårlige tider, for eksempel Dunkirk, og inspirerende seire, for eksempel Battle of Britain. Hans var en glimrende tanke, full av vidd og intelligens; hans veltalenhet glans og hans beundringsverdig stil førte ham til å vinne Nobelprisen i litteratur i 1953. Churchill er sitert i det engelske språket kanskje mer enn noen, med unntak av Shakespeare; og som han betraktet dem en snarvei til uendelige bassenger av kunnskap, han var en stor fan av anførsels samlinger også. I denne ånd, har disse 100 sitater er nøye utvalgt fra kroppen hans arbeid for å introdusere deg til hans mektige ånd og lar deg tegne fritt fra hans litterære funn og vettet.

Winston Churchill

Sir Winston Churchill was a British military man, statesman, and Nobel-prize winning author, and, by virtue of his service during both the First and Second World Wars, is considered to be one of the greatest wartime leaders of the twentieth century. Born to the aristocracy, Churchill pursued a career in the British Army, seeing action in British India and in the Second Boer War, and later drew upon his experiences in these historic conflicts in his work as a war correspondent and writer. After retiring from active duty, Churchill moved into politics and went on to hold a number of important positions in the British government. He rose to the role of First Lord of the Admiralty during the First World War and later to the role of prime minister, a position that he held twice, from 1940-1945 and from 1951-1955. A visionary statesman, Churchill was remarkable for his ability to perceive emerging threats to international peace, and predicted the rise of Nazi Germany, the Second World War, and the Iron Curtain. In his later years Churchill returned to writing, penning the six-volume Second World War series, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, and many other historical and biographical works. Winston Churchill died in 1965 and, after one of the largest state funerals to that point in time, was interred in his family’s burial plot.
