Image
What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
Winston Churchill
Image
Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.
Winston Churchill
Image
Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.
Winston Churchill
Image
We need to be strong in order to avoid war and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I look round to see how we can win the war, I see that there is only one sure path . . . and that is absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland.
Winston Churchill
Image
Socialism would gather all power to the supreme party and party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of civil servants no longer servants, no longer civil.
Winston Churchill

Keep calm and carry on.
Winston Churchill
Image
People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
Winston Churchill

Some men change their party for the sake of their principles others their principles for the sake of their party
Winston Churchill

Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Image
Who's in or out, who moves the grand machine, Nor stirs my curiosity, or spleen Secrets of state no more I wish to know Than secret movements of a puppet-show Let but the puppets move, I've my desire, Unseen the hand which guides the master wire.
Winston Churchill
Image
I accumulated in those years so fine a surplus in the Book of Observance that I have been drawing confidently upon it ever since.
Winston Churchill
Image
I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is a much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.
Winston Churchill

If you find a job you love, you'll never work again.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated we should probably make another set of mistakes.
Winston Churchill
Image
The English are loth to express their feelings, but in my stall in the choir I could feel the pent-up, passionate emotion, and also the fear of the congregation, not of death or wounds or material loss, but of defeat and the final ruin of Britain.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you have got a thing where you want, it is a good thing to leave it where it is.
Winston Churchill
Image
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
