HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WINSTON CHURCHILL

In honor of Winston Churchill's birthday 130 years ago today, Horsefeathers reprints his speech to Parliament in 1938. Follow the link to read it.

Here are a few random Churchill quotes to get you in the mood:

"You ask, What is our policy? I will say; It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."

"We shall have not truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst -- and we will do our best. Perhaps it will be our turn soon. Perhaps it will be our turn now. "

"We owe to the Jews a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be the most precious possession of mankind, worth, in fact, the fruit of all other wisdom and learning together."

Responding to the anti-Jewish feeling in France during the Dreyfus Affair: "What a vile nation the French are. Nature must vindicate herself by letting them die out."
