Quote

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.

Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen.
Winston Churchill
Image
Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear - I fear greatly - the storm will not pass. It will rage and it will roar, even more loudly, even more widely.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is sheer laziness not compressing thought into a reasonable space.
Winston Churchill

Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
Winston Churchill

It cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never, never, never give up.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end.
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.

Image
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
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
Image
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened
Winston Churchill
Image
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
Winston Churchill
Image
We are weakened and we are tired, but we are not done yet.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.
Winston Churchill
Image
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
Winston Churchill

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
