I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.

And if it can’t be fun, what’s the point?

You don’t reward failure by promoting those responsible for it, because all you get is more failure.

That if you try once, you should try again. Keep that focus exactly where it should be-on winning.

Do not spend too much time planning or trying to anticipate and solve problems before they happen. That is just another kind of excuse for procrastination. Until you start, you won’t know where the problems will occur. You won’t have the experience to solve them. Instead, get into action, and solve the problems as they arise.

We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.

Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war.

The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.

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!

People didn’t want war. We were forced in it. How fast we finish it depends on how free a hand our generals and admirals have. The less interference they get from the politicians the quicker they’ll end it.

We are not retreating – we are advancing in another Direction

Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.

Twice in my lifetime the long arm of destiny has reached across the oceans and involved the entire life and manhood of the United States in a deadly struggle.There was no use in saying We don’t want it; we won

Among the calamities of war, may be justly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates, and credulity encourages.

I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges; the old ones, grub.

I was very glad that Mr. Attlee described my speeches in the war as expressing the will not only of Parliament but of the whole nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless and, as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it, and if I found the right words you must remember that I have always earned my living by my pen and by my tongue. It was a nation and race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.
