From The Story Of The Malakand Field Force by Winston S. Churchill: "The philosopher may observe with pity, and the philanthropist deplore with pain, that the attention of so many minds should be directed to the scientific destruction of the human species; but practical people in a business-like age will remember that they live in a world of men - not - angels and regulate their conduct accordingly." Page 208, 1989 edition.
From A Fortune Cookie Of All Things!: Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.
From A Hymn At 01/31/10 Mass: "Ubi caritas et amor." (Charity and love) For everyone!

Painting as a Pastime
"Churchill wrote a little book entitled Painting as a Pastime in 1948 and illustrated it with good color reproductions of his favorite canvases. Clearly enough, he ... [saw] his painting as relaxation rather than a serious expression of his creative force."
"Change is the master key," he [said]. A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using it and tiring it, just as in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat."
"...when he was past forty, Churchill suddenly realized that he was wearing out the elbows of his mind and decided that 'The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of first importance to a public man.'
From Winston Churchill, An Informal Study o Greatness by Robert Lewis Taylor, 1952, p.413.
