Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965)

"Churchill was a man larger than life, composed of bigger and simpler elements than ordinary men, a gigantic historical figure during his lifetime, superhumanly bold, strong and imaginative, an orator of prodigious powers, the saviour of his country, a mythical hero who belongs to legend as much as to reality, the largest human being of our time." --Isaiah Berlin
