We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.

'Keep England White' is a good slogan.
Winston Churchill
Image
The whole of northern Norway was covered with snow to depths which none of our soldiers had ever seen, felt, or imagined. There were neither snow-shoes nor skis - still less skiers. We must do our best. Thus began this ramshackle campaign.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is nothing like oratory, it is a skill that can turn a commoner into a king.
Winston Churchill
Image
The United States is a land of free speech. Nowhere is speech freer - not even here where we sedulously cultivate it even in its most repulsive form.
Winston Churchill
Image
We get to make a living we give to make a life.
Winston Churchill
Image
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
Image
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
Winston Churchill
Image
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Image
The maxim, Nothing prevails but perfection, may be spelled PARALYSIS.
Winston Churchill
Image
Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.
Winston Churchill
Image
Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
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.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't deliver an essay with so many points. No one can absorb it. Just say one thing... Of course, you can say the point in many different ways over and over again with different illustrations.
Winston Churchill
Image
... I think it would be so much better for me to learn something which would be useful to me in the army, as well as affording me exercise and amusement.

History is written by the victors.
Winston Churchill
Image
If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.
Winston Churchill
Image
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.
Winston Churchill

Anyone who is not a liberal in his youth has no heart. Anyone who remains so as he matures has no brain!

The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened not merely by rest, but by using other parts.
