Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years

Winston Churchill:
He may be wounded but he has the light of survival in his eyes. [Puffs cigar] A noble beast. He will come again.

Winston Churchill:
[to Clementine after learning that she had his favorite tree cut down] You are guilty of arboricide!

Clementine Churchill:
What's that you're drinking?

Winston Churchill:
Water, and exceedingly nasty it is.

Winston Churchill:
To survive is to have the chance to begin again.

School boy:
[In 1931 after his fall from power - and 8 years before becoming Prime Minister] What advice would you give to young people now that your great career is over?

Neville Chamberlain:
[1936: Germany is rapidly re-arming. Yet Britain's leaders continue to ignore Churchill's calls for increased spending on Britain's armed forces] If there's any danger to this country, it's *Winston*. He's the war-monger, not Hitler! If this country is ever dragged into another conflict with Germany, it will be precisely because of his irresponsible belligerence!
