Image
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.
Winston Churchill
Image
Plans are worthless. Planning is priceless.
Winston Churchill
Image
The person of truth must be covered with bodyguards of lies.
Winston Churchill
Image
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
Winston Churchill
Image
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
Image
Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but heroes fight like Greeks.
Winston Churchill
Image
Americans are a wonderful people: They will always do the right thing--after exhausting every other possible alternative.

No one ever finds life worth living - one has to make it worth living.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
Winston Churchill
Image
We are weakened and we are tired, but we are not done yet.
Winston Churchill
Image
We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonalty. But we have our own dreams and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed.
Winston Churchill
Image
No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt.
Winston Churchill
Image
You must put your head into the lion's mouth if the performance is to be a success.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not presume to explain how to paint, but only how to get enjoyment.
Winston Churchill
Image
Even fools are right sometimes.
Winston Churchill
Image
If the British Empire is fated to pass from life into history, we must hope it will not be by the slow process of dispersion and decay, but in some supreme exertion for freedom, for right and for truth.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Hitler invaded Hell, I'd find something nice to say about the Devil himself.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Image
You leave out God, and you substitute the devil.
Winston Churchill
Image
Make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Let the children have their night of fun and laughter... resolved that by our daring, these same children shall not be denied their right to live in a free and decent world.
Winston Churchill
