Winston Churchill
Don't interrupt me while I'm interrupting.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen?

Winston Churchill
There is no purpose in living where there is nothing to do.
Winston Churchill
I like a man who grins when he fights.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
I have never promised anything but blood, tears, toil and sweat. Now, however we have a new experience. We have a victory - a remarkable and definite victory. The bright gleam has caught the helmets of our soldiers and warmed and cheered all our hearts.
Winston Churchill
Two nations divided by a common language.
