Winston Churchill Quotes on Countries (5 Quotes)

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

    When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
