To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.
Winston Churchill
Victory is the beautiful, bright-colored flower. Transport is the stem without which it could never have blossomed.
Winston Churchill
War, which used to be cruel and magnificent has now become cruel and squalid.
Winston Churchill

We cannot afford to drag forward across the years that are to come the hatreds and revenges which have sprung from the injuries of the past.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong. It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
They have done what they like. Their difficulty is to like what they have done.
Winston Churchill
Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.
Winston Churchill
Good night, then - sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly on all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill
Books, in all their variety, offer the human intellect the means whereby civilisation may be carried triumphantly forward.
Winston Churchill
We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
The late M. Venizelos observed that in all her wars Englandhe should have said Britain, of coursealways wins one battlethe last.
