Winston Churchill
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.
Winston Churchill
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
One may imagine that a man who blew the trumpet for his living would be glad to play the violin for his amusement.
Winston Churchill
Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are billed to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.
Winston Churchill
All babies look like me. But then, I look like all babies.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
