England has been offered a choice between war and shame. She has chosen shame and will get war.
Winston Churchill
Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
Winston Churchill
We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed, to forget the feuds of a thousand years and work for the larger harmonies on which the future depends.
Winston Churchill
The person must be blind, indeed, who can not see, that here on earth a great project, a great plan, is executed, may work on the realization of which we participate as faithful servants.
Winston Churchill
Gentleman, I am hardening on this enterprise. I repeat, I am now hardening towards this enterprise.
Winston Churchill
When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.
Winston Churchill
We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.

Winston Churchill
If Hitler invaded Hell, I'd find something nice to say about the Devil himself.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Thus, be every device from the stick to the carrot, the emaciated Austrian donkey is made to pull the Nazi barrow up an ever-steepening hill.
Winston Churchill
Decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
Winston Churchill
I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American and my mother British instead of the other way around, I might have gotten here on my own.
Winston Churchill
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
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
