I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
Just to paint is great fun. The colours are lovely to look at and delicious to squeeze out. Matching them, however crudely, with what you see is fascinating and absolutely absorbing.
Winston Churchill
This beginning with Audacity, or being thrown into the middle of it, is already a very great part of the art of painting.

Winston Churchill
Air superiority is the ultimate expression of military power.
Winston Churchill
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.
Winston Churchill
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.
Winston Churchill
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
