Air superiority is the ultimate expression of military power.
Winston Churchill
Image
The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you feel you cannot continue in your position for another minute, and all that is in human power has been done, that is the moment when the enemy is most exhausted, and when one step forward will give you the fruits of the struggle you have borne

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.

I do not believe there is the slightest chance of war with Japan in our lifetime. The Japanese are our allies.... Japan is at the other end of the world. She cannot menace our vital security in any way.... War with Japan is not a possibility which any reasonable government need take into account.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Winston Churchill

How often in life must one be content with what one can get!
Winston Churchill
Image
When Iraq becomes strong enough in our opinion to stand alone, we shall be in a position to state that our task has been fulfilled, and that Iraq is an independent sovereign state. But this cannot be said while we are forced year after year to spend very large sums of money on helping the Iraqi government to defend itself and maintain order.

Wealth, taste and leisure can bring many things but they do not bring happiness.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill

It's Never Over 'till it's over! Never Give Up! Never.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.

A joke is a very serious thing.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a fine game to play - the game of politics - and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated we should probably make another set of mistakes.
Winston Churchill

The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.

It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
