My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.

Anyone who is not a liberal in his youth has no heart. Anyone who remains so as he matures has no brain!

You ask, What is our policy? I will say; 'It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.' You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory-victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.

I liked wine, both red and white, and especially Champagne; and on very special occasions I could even drink a small glass of brandy.

Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.

Without victory there is no survival!

Plans are worthless. Planning is priceless.
