Winston Churchill

The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.

Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.

Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

It is no use saying, ‘We are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
