... painting a picture is like fighting a battle and trying to paint a picture is, I suppose, like trying to fight a battle. It is, if anything, more exciting than fighting it successfully. But the principle is the same.
Winston Churchill

Never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill

No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill

It is a socialist idea that making profits is a vice I consider the real vice is making losses.
Winston Churchill

Victory is the beautiful, bright-colored flower. Transport is the stem without which it could never have blossomed.

One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.

We are really doing our very best. There are no doubt many mistakes and shortcomings. A lot of things are done none too well. Some things that ought to be done have not yet been done...[But Britain's effort has] justly commanded the wonder and admiration of every friendly nation in the world.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.
Winston Churchill
Image
Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself.
Winston Churchill
Image
I wonder whether any other generation has seen such astounding revolutions of data and values as those through which we have lived. Scarcely anything material or established which I was brought up to believe was permanent and vital, has lasted. Everything I was sure or taught to be sure was impossible, has happened.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never run away from anything. Never!
Winston Churchill
Image
There must not be lacking in our leadership something of that spirit of the Austrian corporal who, when all had fallen into ruins around him, and when Germany seemed to have fallen into chaos, did not hesitate to march forth against the vast army of victorious nations and has already turned the tables decisively against them.
Winston Churchill

[The Balkans] produce more history than they can consume.
Winston Churchill
Image
In the past we have had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea.
Winston Churchill
Image
I built with my own hands ... a large swimming-pool which was filtered to limpidity and could be heated to supplement our fickle sunshine.
Winston Churchill

People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have had a number of threatening letters each week, some telling me the actual time and method of my death, and I don't like it.
Winston Churchill

Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
