There were many famous quotes by Winston Churchill - he was an incredibly good orator.
As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the head of the War Cabinet, Churchill along with his advisor's, made general policy decisions about the way in which the war would be fought. The day to day planning and directions during the air battles of the summer of 1940 were made by the Royal Air Force's senior officers, and were carried out by the squadron commanders of the RAF's fighter units. :)

Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few. (Winston Churchill) This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it might be the end of the beginning. (Winston Churchill)

It has never been proved, and at this point, there is no way to know with any certainty. Many British tabloids have noted that it is "widely believed" that Winston Churchill's troubled son Randolph conducted a number of affairs during his life, and several of them may have resulted in illegitimate children. But officially, this has always been denied by the Churchill family. David McDowell has claimed to be one of those illegitimate children; unfortunately, at this point, there is little evidence to support his assertion.
