One of my favorite sites, The Art of Manliness has featured a post I wrote about Winston Churchill.
It’s an wide ranging piece highlighting the ‘manly’ traits of Winston Churchill and what we (as men) can learn from him.
Here’s an excerpt:
Loyalty and Love
Churchill loved the British Empire, his monarch and his country. It was a love that he had his entire live. It was a love that inspired him to write great books and speeches, paint great pictures, and lead his country through its darkest days. Even though he was a ‘manly man,’ he was in touch with his feelings and felt love. He was also very loyal to his wife, Clementine. They were married until the day he died.
Standing up for what you believe
Throughout his parliamentary career, Churchill was often a political pariah. By the 1930’s, his career was considered over, and he was seen as the sad old man of the House of Commons, suffering from the ‘get off my lawn’ syndrome. He was one of the few voices that warned of the rise of Hitler and a newly ascendant Germany. No one wanted to listen to the truth, but he persisted in speaking it anyway.
