My Early Life: 1874-1904 | 
This is not the exact quote but it is the essence of it "While I was trying to show my knowledge they were trying to show my ignorance" and it was about the ages when Winston Churchill went to school. In many countries this is still accurate and so up to date. And it is sad.
so-so459 p. Witty tone, bunch of adventures, great book! I did not expect Churchill to be that colourfull. However, very detailed war scenes bored me a bit towards the end.

Winston Churchill writing a hilarious letter to his colleague of the same name: "Mr. Winston Churchill presents his compliments to Mr. Winston Churchill, and begs to draw his attention to a matter which concerns them both."

Can anyone recommend a good biography of Winston Churchill? My Adelaide book club is keen to read one. Inspired by watching The Crown... 😉
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
I came across this quote today and couldn't resist sharing it given the recent Brexit vote. That Mr. Churchill was spot-on, then and now!
I decided to start this memoir today. So far, it's quite interesting and humorous.
