Quotes 

  • Winston Churchill : I'm free! I'm free! I'm Winston Bloody Churchill and I'm free!

  • Winston Churchill : The truth is I'm not at all brave. In fact, the truth is I've often felt myself a coward, especially at school. But, if I could win a reputation for courage and daring, if I could be mentioned in dispatches, that would help me to get started in politics. In short, I need medals. Lots and lots of medals.

  • Winston Churchill : Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

  • Winston Churchill : The joke of it all is that I never really wanted to be a soldier. No. Politics - Parliament - that's my arena! But, how am I to get there? I have no reputation. No family in the government. And worst of all, no money!

  • Captain : Actually, we don't care much for correspondents out here, Churchill, or white horses either. Where'd you get it?

    Winston Churchill : At the auction last week, sir, Marakan Pass.

    Captain : Previous owner killed?

    Winston Churchill : I believe so. Yes, sir.

    Captain : Didn't that teach you anything?

    Winston Churchill : Sir?

  • Winston Churchill : I was wondering why a certain kind of person always seems to believe the worst about me. At Sandhurst, for example, I was accused of being everything from a horse thief to a homosexual. And I had to sue for libel and win, to prove my innocence on both counts.

  • Winston Churchill : Vendetta? That's an Italian word, isn't it? Nothing like that in England, is there?

  • Captain : Winston, don't you ever relax?

    Winston Churchill : I can't! I'm almost twenty-five!

  • Winston Churchill : Now, which of these gallant chaps will lead me to something really exciting? And adventure I can write about! That column there or that one? It's all a lottery, isn't it? Just luck! God, I hope I'm lucky today.

  • Winston Churchill : I must overcome my speech impediment when I speak in public. The Spanish ships I cannot shee - see! For they are not in shight- sight! Damn!

  • Winston Churchill : Sir, Lt. Chapman, eh, Churchill. Sorry, sir. Lt. Churchill reporting for Major Finn, sir.

  • Winston Churchill : I believe in myself. I believe in my destiny!

  • Winston Churchill : What would you like me to do? Play games? Be seen but not heard? Close my eyes and ears? Be a child forever? Must we always be ruled by old men? Doesn't every old man in politics betray the wonderful things he believed in when he was young? And by doing that, betray his country? I think there is room for a young man, many young men, in government. If I could, I would say this to young men, all over the world: Come on, you are needed more than ever now. You must take your places in life's fighting line. Twenty to twenty-five - those are the years. Don't be content with things as they are. Yes, you will make mistakes. But, as long as you are generous and true, you cannot hurt the world. Nor, even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and one by youth!

  • Winston Churchill : I'm going mad in here. And tomorrow's my birthday.

    Brockie : Congratulations.

    Winston Churchill : Oh, shut up. You don't understand! I'll be twenty-five. I can't stay cooped up in here for the rest of the war!

  • Winston Churchill : I say, sir, we must not regard modern war as a kind of game in which we may take a hand and with good luck and good management play it rightly for an evening and when we have had enough, come safely home with our winnings. Oh, no, sir. It is no longer - a game. A European war cannot be anything but a cruel and heartrending struggle, which, if we are ever to enjoy the bitter fruits of victory, must demand, perhaps for years, the whole manhood of the nation, the entire suspension of peaceful industries, and the concentrating to only one end - of every vital agency in the community. Aw, yes, it may be that the human race is doomed, never to learn from its mistakes. We are the only animals, on this globe, who periodically set out to slaughter each other, for the best, the noblest, the most inescapable of reasons. We know better. But, we do it again and again, in generation after generation. It may be that our Empire too is doomed - like all those that have gone before it. To continue to spill and waste its best blood on foreign soil, no matter what we say or do in this place or think or believe or have learned from history. But, thank God, for us - there is still such a thing as moral force!

  • Winston Churchill : British influence is a healthy and kindly influence.

  • Sir Winston Churchill : It was an end and a beginning.

  • Major Finn : Chapman. I say, Chapman. Chapman, are you deaf?

    Winston Churchill : Oh, sorry sir. It's Churchill, sir.

    Major Finn : Oh, yes, of course, Churchill. Chapman's the one whose dead. Sorry about that.
