Winston Churchill: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

From what I have seen of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I am convinced that there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there's nothing for which they have less respect for than weakness, especially military…

Give us the tools and we will finish the job.

Be careful above all things not to let go of the atomic weapon until you are sure and more than sure that other means of preserving peace are in your hands.

You had the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor yet you will have war.
