I will begin by saying what everybody would like to ignore or forget... we have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat... All is over. Silent, mournful, abandoned, broken, Czechoslovakia recedes into the darkness... We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude which has befallen Great Britain and France. Do not let us blind ourselves to that... Do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Nowadays we are assailed by a ...

Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi government exudes through every neutral state inside information about the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their propaganda machinery. If words could kill, we shall be dead already.

If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.

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

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I could not help reflecting that the bullet which had struck the chestnut [horse] had certainly passed within a foot of my head. So at any rate I had been 'under fire.' That was something.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.

Everything trends towards catastrophe & collapse. I am interested, geared up & happy. Is it not horrible to be built like that?

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

When danger is far off we may think of our weakness; when it is near we must not forget our strength.

I'm bored with it all. Before slipping into a coma. He died 9 days later.

'I hope, sir, that I will shoot your picture on your hundredth birthday.' I don't see why not, young man. You look reasonably fit and healthy.

When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.

I have in my life concentrated more on self-expression than self-denial.

Time passes swiftly, but is it not joyous to see how great and growing is the treasure we have gathered together, amid the storms and stresses of so many eventful and to millions tragic and terrible years?

You must put your head into the lion's mouth if the performance is to be a success.

This fulfils my ambition. I still have my father's robe as Chancellor. I shall be proud to serve you in this splendid office.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
