Ingratitude towards leaders is a sign of a strong nation. Whose famous quote

This sentence was said by Churchill, the British Prime Minister during World War II.

How do the British treat Churchill, a national hero who shines in the annals of history? If it were China, it would be like treating Taizu and worshiping him as a god. Every household would hang statues of the gods and use flowers and plants to bathe in the gods' grace. The British elected Churchill in the first general election after the end of World War II. Churchill was a leader with a tough style, who acted vigorously and resolutely, and allowed only victory and no failure. This kind of character is very suitable for serving as a leader in a war. However, after the war, facing reconstruction and recovery, what the people need is to rest and recuperate, and what they need is a moderate and pragmatic leader.

For Britain, Churchill’s contribution is very great, but just because you are great, you cannot delay the progress of the nation. Britain is worthy of being the birthplace of modern democratic system. The British used their own reason and ability to choose a better reconstruction manager. Facing the election defeat, Churchill said: Ingratitude to great men is a manifestation of the greatness of a nation. Because the people of this nation know how to be responsible for themselves, instead of surrendering to the slave masters who dominate and control the country. Countless stories in history prove that those who save the country in the face of important crises are often unwilling to give up the huge power they temporarily gained, and transform into terrible rulers.
