"History is written by the victors", 50 brilliant quotes from
Winston Churchill

When Winston Churchill died on January 24, 1965, in London, Big Ben chimed before the full hour to announce that the great politician had passed away at the age of 90.

Many television and radio programs were canceled to make way for features on the former prime minister.

His body was placed in Westminster Hall where about 300,000 people paid their respects.

In the United Kingdom he has been called "the greatest Briton in history".

He was known throughout the world as a shrewd and insightful politician who used his mind well against his opponents.

It seems that every morning, he put on his jacket, along with courage and perseverance.

Churchill was not only a great politician, but also a great orator.

Although he is now gone, his legacy lives on with many of the funniest and wittiest quotes he left behind.
