My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.
Winston Churchill
Image
For the first time I heard shots fired in anger, heard bullets strike flesh or whistle through the air.
Winston Churchill
Image
Like other systems in decay, the Roman Empire continued to function for several generations after its vitality was sapped. For nearly a hundred years our Island was one of the scenes of conflict between a dying civilisation and lusty, famishing barbarism.
Winston Churchill
Image
There must not be lacking in our leadership something of that spirit of the Austrian corporal who, when all had fallen into ruins around him, and when Germany seemed to have fallen into chaos, did not hesitate to march forth against the vast army of victorious nations and has already turned the tables decisively against them.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
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.

Winston Churchill
Image
I'd rather argue against a hundred idiots, than have one agree with me.
Winston Churchill
Image
There comes into the life of every man a task for which he and he alone is uniquely suited. What a shame if that moment finds him either unwilling or unprepared for that which would become his finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisonous gas against uncivilized tribes.
Winston Churchill
Image
Air power may either end war or end civilization.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself.
Winston Churchill
Image
When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person it merely says something about our own need to be critical.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril...It did not take the form of flaring battles and glittering achievements, it manifested itself through statistics, diagrams, and curves unknown to the nation, incomprehensible to the public.

Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.

It is not enough that we do our best sometimes we must do what is required.

My tastes are simple. I like only the very best.
