We shall fight in parking lots, we shall fight in empty fields and on wide streets, we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
Image
The old wars were decided by their episodes rather than by their tendencies. In this war, the tendencies are far more important than the episodes.
Winston Churchill
Image
If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I look round to see how we can win the war, I see that there is only one sure path . . . and that is absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland.
Winston Churchill
Image
Without execution, thinking is mere idleness.
Winston Churchill
Image
An efficient and a successful administration manifests itself equally in small as in great matters.
Winston Churchill
Image
My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop.
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.

If you wanted nothing done at all, Balfour was the man for the job.
Winston Churchill
Image
To meet Roosevelt with all his buoyant sparkle, his iridescence, was like opening a bottle of champagne.
Winston Churchill
Image
Our future is in our hands. Our lives are what we choose to make them.
Winston Churchill
Image
No matter. The dead bird does not leave the nest.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is wonderful what great strides can be made when there is a resolute purpose behind them.
Winston Churchill
Image
The substance of the eminent Socialist gentlemen's speech is that making a profit is a sin. It is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss!
Winston Churchill
Image
Decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
Winston Churchill
Image
What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
Winston Churchill
Image
How many have gone? How many more to go? The Admiralty is fast asleep and lethargy & inertia are the order of the day. However everybody seems delighted - so there is nothing to be said. No plans, no enterprise, no struggle to aid the general cause. Just sit still on the spacious throne and snooze.
Winston Churchill
Image
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill
Image
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
