There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Winston Churchill
Image
We need to be strong in order to avoid war and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a great mistake to suppose that thrift is caused only by fear it springs from hope as well as from fear where there is no hope, be sure there will be no thrift.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
Image
From now on we shall bomb Germany on an ever-increasing scale, month by month, year by year, until the Nazi regime has either been exterminated by us or - better still - torn to pieces by the German people themselves.
Winston Churchill
Image
I'm going to make a long speech because I've not had the time to prepare a short one.
Winston Churchill
Image
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is alarming ... to see Mr Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well-known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal Palace while he is still organising and conducting a campaign of civil disobedience.
