I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.
Winston Churchill
Image
I'd rather spend half an hour in the company of a top carpenter, than three hours in the company of an average brain surgeon
Winston Churchill
Image
It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don't believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.
Winston Churchill
Image
Our future is in our hands. Our lives are what we choose to make them.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is nothing like oratory, it is a skill that can turn a commoner into a king.
Winston Churchill
Image
Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.
Winston Churchill
Image
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
Image
The arts are essen­tial to any com­plete national life. The State owes it to itself to sus­tain and encour­age them. [...] Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the rev­er­ence and delight which are their due.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I had my way, I would write the word 'insure' over every door of every cottage and upon the blotting pad of every public man, because I am convinced that, for sacrifice that are conceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever.
Winston Churchill
Image
Which brings me to my conclusion upon Free Will and Predestination, namely - let the reader mark it - that they are identical.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is no use doing what you like you have got to like what you do.
Winston Churchill
Image
The is always much to be said for not attempting more than you can do and for making a certainty of what you try. But this principle, like others in life and war, has it exceptions.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril.
Winston Churchill
Image
The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Image
These, Gentlemen, are the opinions upon which I base my facts.
Winston Churchill
Image
A hopeful disposition is not the sole qualification to be a prophet.
Winston Churchill
Image
I never slept as soundly as the night following Pearl Harbor. For I knew that The American Race would now be entering the war and it would never be the same.
