Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill (c. 1874-1965)

“Fearthought is futile worrying over what cannot be averted or will probably never happen. Forethought is taking the best means at one’s command to ward off perils or surmount them if they come.”

  • From Sir Winston Churchill’s “War is not Imminent” (October 15, 1937), included in Winston S. Churchill Step By Step: Political Writings 1936-1939 (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2015).
