| | rd |  | Customworks Winston Churchill Fridge Magnet Quotations | | | Magnetic Quotations - Snap apart the pre-cut pieces and attach to any metal surface.18 x 28cm"Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all", Churchill cared about his specific choice of words. Although clearly spontaneous, Churchill spent hours crafting his important works - the public speeches and the books which he knew would make his mark on history. Always supported by a bright young historian to help with his research, Churchill would dictate his piece to one of the roster of secretaries detailed to be there of his every thinking moment. Never still, he would carefully select each word as he walked up and down his office, ripping the page from the typewriter and revise each sentence until the whole was perfection. To get the more important pieces right, he would send them off to relevant friends and participants to receive their opinion and he would invariably sound our his guests ant the Chartwell dining table on the cadences and phraseology he was intending to employ. After supper he would retire back to his study for several more hours dictation before heading to bed well after 2am. His output was prodigious. Churchill was a great statesman and an inspiration in dark times. His careful choice of words, his distinctive appearance, his bulldogged confidence and his highly informed and contrived public performance all contributed to his accomplishment. These quotations shall hopefully remind us of the unique approach of this unique character and amuse and inspire our daily doings.

His art embraced many subjects and locations in Britain and around the world. Churchill painted over 500 canvases predominantly of landscapes, but also still lifes and self portraits. | |
