Winston Churchill

Sir Winston Churchill served as Great Britain's Prime Minister, and is best remembered for leading Great Britain from the brink of defeat to victory in World War II.

His career began when he was elected to Parliament in 1900 taking his seat in the House of Commons as a conservative member. By the the time World War I stared in 1914, Churchill was already a national figure serving as the first Lord of Admiralty. During the 1930's Churchill constantly warned about the rise of Hitler and the dangers of appeasement policy, but it mostly fell upon deaf ears.

Winston Churchill's vital role in World War II needs little introduction -- except to say that he demonstrated his finest leadership qualities before, during and after the war. He instilled a solid resolve by portraying his own sheer determination through his inspirational speeches to the people of Great Britain. Churchill kept a vigilant pace during World War II, and most forget that he was 70 years old at that time.

In 1951, Winston Churchill was elected Prime Minister of Great Britain again, and well-served out his role until 1964. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for his book called, "The Second World War" and was also knighted that same year.

Churchill was born in Oxfordshire, England November 30th, 1874; and died on January 24, 1965 ... seventy years to the dated death of his father.

The price of greatness is responsibility.

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.

Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.
