Image
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
Winston Churchill
Image
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.

Winston Churchill
Image
Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.

Winston Churchill
Image
Our future is in our hands. Our lives are what we choose to make them.
Winston Churchill
Image
If we win, nobody will care. If we lose, there will be nobody to care.
Winston Churchill
Image
Churchill says the Government had to choose between war and shame. They chose shame. They will get war, too.
Winston Churchill
Image
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
Winston Churchill
Image
Danger, if met head on, can be nearly halved
Winston Churchill
Image
We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty. [Referring to the theory that over-production caused the Depression]
