Quote

This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers, not only in this Island but in every land, who will render faithful service in this war, but whose names will never be known, whose deeds will never be recorded. This is a War of the Unknown Warriors

An aphorism is not an aphorism unless you know what it means.
Winston Churchill
Image
In Hitler's launching of the Nazi campaign upon Russia we can already see, after less than six months of fighting, that he made one of the outstanding blunders of history, and the results so far realized constitute an event of cardinal importance in the final decision of the war.
Winston Churchill

The first quality that is needed is audacity.
Winston Churchill
Image
The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
Winston Churchill
Image
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.
Winston Churchill
Image
A joke is a very serious thing.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.
Winston Churchill
Image
The eagle has ceased to scream, but the parrots will now begin to chatter. The war of the giants is over and the pigmies will now start to squabble.
Winston Churchill
Image
If we win, nobody will care. If we lose, there will be nobody to care.
Winston Churchill
Image
I expect you will find that change is the best kind of rest.
Winston Churchill
Image
You have to run risks. There are no certainties in war. There is a precipice on either side of you - a precipice of caution and a precipice of over-daring.
Winston Churchill
Image
Now at last the slowly gathered, long-pent-up fury of the storm broke upon us. Four or five millions of men met each other in the first shock of the most merciless of all the wars of which record has been kept.
Winston Churchill
Image
I feel devoutly thankful to have been born fond of writing.
Winston Churchill
Image
We (The British) have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill
Image
Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
Winston Churchill
Image
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
Image
Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by the victories achieved under their direction than by the political results which flowed from them. Judged by that standard, I am not sure that I shall be held to have done very well.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.

Nothing is won without enthusiasm.
