We Shall come through! We cannot tell when, we cannot tell how, but we shall come through.
Winston Churchill
Image
Perfect solutions of our difficulties are not to be looked for in an imperfect world.
Winston Churchill

No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill

We are not meant to find peace in this world. The spirit of life cannot exist without effort. Destroy the rivalries of man and nations and you will have destroyed all that makes for betterment and progress on Earth.
Winston Churchill

Here Churchill repeats with approval a statement he had first made in January, 1930 at a meeting at the Cannon Street Hotel. Sooner or later you will have to crush Gandhi and the Indian Congress and all they stand for.

The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.
Winston Churchill
Image
A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.
Winston Churchill
Image
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.
Winston Churchill
Image
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.

Tidiness is a virtue, symmetry is often a constituent of beauty.
