Socrates
Socrates was a foundational figure in Western philosophy who left no writings of his own, but profoundly shaped ethical thought through his legendary "Socratic method" of questioning. Known as the "gadfly" of Athens, he challenged conventional wisdom and famously declared that "the unexamined life is not worth living." His steadfast refusal to compromise his principles led to his trial and execution by drinking hemlock, cementing his legacy as a martyr for philosophy and intellectual integrity.
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill was one of the most influential statesmen of the 20th century, serving as the British Prime Minister who became the global symbol of steadfast resistance against Nazi Germany during World War II. A brilliant strategist and rousing orator who rallied his nation, he was also a gifted writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. His indomitable spirit, sharp wit, and iconic image with his trademark cigar have cemented his enduring legacy in world history.
