High on the list of his many&nbsp;notable talents was his gift for moving and eloquent oratory. His mastery of words gave him equal skill in rousing a nation to action and putting a brainless cad in his place.<\/p>\n<p>Churchill once said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett&#8217;s Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Of course, he himself became one of the most quotable men in history. So much so, that it was an impossible task to narrow down his incredible quotes to just one post. So we&#8217;ve broken this edition of our motivational poster series into two parts. Part II will be posted in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For now, enjoy this first installment. Whether you&#8217;re educated or not, reading his quotes will light a fire under your bum and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/hair\/it-will-put-hair-chest\/\">put a few more hairs
