Sir Winston Leonard Spencer- Churchill( November 30, 1874- Jan. 24, 1965)

        I heard many times about  Sir Winston Churchill, but haven't write anything about him. Yesterday, I visited the booksale at SM, I found this book "The Story of Winston Churchill", published in 1957. It was an old book, but is still very presentable and the font are readable so I bought it for only 45 pesos. With only 181 pages , I've done reading it today.

 I got this picture from him because I like the way he pose here.
I learned that he was the only British prime Minister to have received the Nobel Prize in literature.
I learned also that there were three things which Winston was determined to do in life: to defend his father's belief's and actions, to make a great name for himself before he died and to serve his country.

The most famous quote from him which I got from this book:

• "Now or never"
• "When there is no fighting, I shall go into politics."
• "I love life but I do not fear death."
• "But the victory was won at a terrible cost!"
• "And so, they would listen to no reasons. And in the twinkling of an eye, I found my self without an office, without a seat in Parliament, without a party and even without an appendix!"
• " I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."
• ". . . We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender."
• " Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
