Winston Churchill: Those who never change their mind never change anything.

Winston Churchill: Those who never change their mind never change anything.
Legislator: What just happened?
Viscount Halifax: He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.
King George VI: Winston lacks judgment.

King George VI: I believe we are to meet regularly.

King George VI: How is... How are you for Mondays?
Winston Churchill: Um, I shall endeavor to be available on Mondays.
King George VI: 4:00?
Winston Churchill: I nap
at 4:00.
King George VI: Is that permissible?
Winston Churchill: No. But necessary. I work late.
President Roosevelt: Good night to you, Winston. It must be late there.
Winston Churchill: In more ways than you could possibly know.
King George VI: One never knows what's going to come out of your mouth next. Something that'll flatter, something that'll wound.
Winston Churchill: My e-emotions are unbridled. A wildness. In the blood. I share with my father. And my mother also. We lack the gift of temperance.
Winston Churchill: Do I have your, uh, permission, uh, to send, uh, an aircraft carrier to pick up the P-40 fighter planes we purchased from you? Mr. President?
President Roosevelt: Well, you-you've got me there again. New law preventing transshipment of military equipment.
Winston Churchill: Uh, but we paid for them. We-we paid for
them with the money that we... that we borrowed from you.
Winston Churchill: Turning once again to the question of invasion I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast, when an absolute guarantee against invasion could have been given to our people. I have, myself full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are
being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic,
linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, 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, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this
island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old!
