Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Nothing should be done for spite's sake.

In Hitler's launching of the Nazi campaign upon Russia we can already see, after less than six months of fighting, that he made one of the outstanding blunders of history, and the results so far realized constitute an event of cardinal importance in the final decision of the war.

When I warned them [the French] that Britain would fight on alone whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided Cabinet, In three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken. Some chicken! Some neck!

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
