Winston Churchill

We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.

Winston Churchill

We shall see how the counsels of prudence and restraint may become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle course adopted from desires for safety and a quiet life may be found to lead direct to the bull’s-eye of disaster.

Winston Churchill

We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world; for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.

Winston Churchill

We sit in calm, airy, silent rooms opening upon sunlit and embowered lawns, not a sound except of summer and of husbandry disturbs the peace; but seven million men, any ten thousand of whom could have annihilated the ancient armies, are in ceaseless battle from the Alps to the Ocean.

Winston Churchill

We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o’clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.

Winston Churchill

We will have no truce or parley with you [Hitler], or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst-and we will do our best.

Winston Churchill

We will mete out to the Germans the measure and more than the measure that they have meted out to us. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best.

Winston Churchill

What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?

Winston Churchill

What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin.

Winston Churchill

What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace; Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease; Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
