Winston Churchill Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Life: November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965
Birthday: November 30
Death: January 24
It is arguable whether the human race have been gainers by the march of science beyond the steam engine. Electricity opens a field of infinite conveniences to ever greater numbers, but they may well have to pay dearly for them. But anyhow in my thought I stop short of the internal combustion engine which has made the world so much smaller. Still more must we fear the consequences of entrusting a human race so little different from their predecessors of the so-called barbarous ages such awful agencies as the atomic bomb. Give me the horse.
