It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill

One ought to be just before one is generous
Winston Churchill
Image
Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones.
Winston Churchill
Image
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.

Those who serve supreme causes must not consider what they can get but what they can give.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the Air. The Fighters are our salvation . . . but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. . . . In no other way at present visible can we hope to overcome the immense military power of Germany.
Winston Churchill

Air power may either end war or end civilization.

They [the Labour Party] are not fit to manage a whelk stall.
Winston Churchill
Image
The flags of the Confederate States of America were very important and a matter of great pride to those citizens living in the Confederacy. They are also a matter of great pride for their descendants as part of their heritage and history.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.
Winston Churchill

The stations of uncensored expression are closing down the lights are going out but there is still time for those to whom freedom and parliamentary government mean something, to consult together. Let me, then, speak in truth and earnestness while time remains.
Winston Churchill

I am too busy. I have not time for worry.

Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward

In the past we have had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea.
