Character and Greatness of Winston Churchill Quotes

“Action Things do not get better by being left alone. Unless they are adjusted, they explode with a shattering detonation.20 IN HIS poem Psalm of Life, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote of man’s need for action. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,—act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! This poem was one of Churchill’s favorites, and it wonderfully captures his view of life. In fact, the word that best describes Churchill is action.”
