Sir Winston Churchill: The wit and wisdom of a supreme orator
http://home.bt.com/news/uk-news/sir-winston-churchill-the-wit-and-wisdom-of-a-supreme-orator-11363958598657
As well as being arguably Britain's greatest ever leader, Churchill was one of the finest orators of the 20th century.
As well as being arguably Britain's greatest ever leader, Churchill was one of the finest orators of the 20th century.
Quick of wit and with a sparkling turn of phrase, he was also able to conjure rousing words to inspire the world during the darkest days of the Second World War.
Here are some of Churchill's most famous quotes - and a few of his finest witticisms:
1: "You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival." - May 13 1940, in his first speech as Prime Minister.
2: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."- May 13 1940.
3: "If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies, choking in his own blood upon the ground." - as quoted in Hugh Dalton's Second World War Diary, entry for May 28 1940.
4: "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." - June 4 1940.
5: "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years men will still say 'This was their finest hour'." - broadcast, June 18 1940.
6: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." - August 20 1940.
7: "Do not let us speak of darker days; let us rather speak of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race." - October 29 1941, Harrow School.
8: "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense." - address to the boys at Harrow School, October 29 1941.
9: "We shall go forward together. The road upwards is stony. There are upon our journey dark and dangerous valleys through which we have to make and fight our way. But it is sure and certain that if we persevere - and we shall persevere - we shall come through these dark and dangerous valleys into a sunlight broader and more genial and more lasting than mankind has ever known." - speech in Leeds, May 16 1942.
10: "This war effort could not have been achieved if the women had not marched forward in millions and undertaken all kinds of tasks and work for which any other generation but our own ... would have considered them unfitted; work in the fields, heavy work in the foundries and in the shops, very refined work on radio and precision instruments, work in the hospitals, responsible clerical work of all kinds, work throughout the munitions factories, work in the mixed batteries ... Nothing has been grudged, and the bounds of women's activities have been definitely, vastly, and permanently enlarged." - September 29 1943, Royal Albert Hall, London.
11: "Always be on guard against tyranny, whatever shape it may assume." - November 15 1945, Brussels University.
12: Bessie Braddock MP: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk."
Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly." - 1946.
13: Nancy Astor: "If I were married to you, I'd put poison in your coffee."
Churchill: "If I were married to you, I'd drink it." - to Nancy Astor, circa 1912, Blenheim Palace.
14 "In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet." - 1940s.
15: "We are all worms. But I do believe that I am a glow-worm." - Churchill, 1906, cited in Violet Bonham Carter's Winston Churchill; An Intimate Portrait (1965)
16: "I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." - November 30 1949.
17: Photographer: "I hope, sir, that I will shoot your picture on your hundredth birthday."
Churchill: "I don't see why not, young man. You look reasonably fit and healthy." - November 30 1949, Hyde Park Gate, London.
18: "Hess or no Hess, I'm going to watch the Marx Brothers." - during an air raid, May 11 1941, Ditchley Park.
