They were lucky to have the right man at the right time- so were we

I saw this quote attributed to Churchill. Seems most appropriate as it relates to Penn State and the media and the last 5 years, "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
A lovely young lady, but, although it is not her birthday, I will post a photo of Mr. Zimbalist's daughter, Stephanie, who warms the cockles of my heart.agreed, he was a great leader.

"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality that guarantees all others"
"My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me". ~ Sir Winston Churchill.
From what I know of Clementine Churchill, she was a hell of a lady.
As was Sir Winston's American-born mother, Jenny Jerome aka Lady Randolph Churchill.
" I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals".

“My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.” – Winston Churchill
"I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me"
