Question

Can anyone tell me some famous quotes from Churchill about the WW2?

Answer 1

Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt... We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

Nothing is more dangerous in wartime than to live in the temperamental atmosphere of a Gallup Poll, always feeling one's pulse and taking one's temperature.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.   But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

This is no time for ease and comfort.  It is the time to dare and endure.

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.

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

You do your worst, and we will do our best.

Answer 2

My favorite is the one where he was seen stumbling home drunk by some s****. female, who said "Mr. Churchill, you are drunk!" and he replied "Yes. And you're ugly.  Tomorrow, I shall be sober."

Answer 3

It is better to jaw jaw than to war war

Answer 5

Only some of these deal specifically with world war two, but they are just as good!

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

The price of greatness is responsibility.

The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.

There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

  

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

    Sir Winston Churchill

Answer 6

"I did not suffer from any desire to be relieved of my responsibilities.All i wanted was compliance with my wishes after reasonable discussion."

Answer 7

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Actually, I seen something on a documentary once that made alligations that many modern day leaders often borrow these quotes from past leaders ( mostly Greeks & Romans ), so how orginal any are is your guess.
