Winston Churchill Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Life: November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965
Birthday: November 30
Death: January 24
Nothing is more dangerous in wartime than to live in the temperamental atmosphere of a Gallup Poll, always feeling ones pulse and taking ones temperature. I see that a speaker at the week-end said that this was a time when leaders should keep their ears to the ground. All I can say is that the British nation will find it very hard to look up to leaders who are detected in that somewhat ungainly posture.
