More quotes by Winston Churchill
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the Air. The Fighters are our salvation . . . but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. . . . In no other way at present visible can we hope to overcome the immense military power of Germany.
Winston Churchill
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
Winston Churchill
You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.
Winston Churchill
I was on the whole considerably discouraged by my school days... It is not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the very beginning of the race.
Winston Churchill
For the first time I heard shots fired in anger, heard bullets strike flesh or whistle through the air.
Winston Churchill
Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one.
Winston Churchill
I'd prefer to be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment - and yet - I can't help it - I enjoy every second of it.
Winston Churchill
Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Winston Churchill
A sheep in sheep's clothing.
Winston Churchill
Advertising mourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production.
Winston Churchill
Science has given to this generation the means of unlimited disaster or of unlimited progress. There will remain the greater task of directing knowledge lastingly towards the purpose of peace and human good.
Winston Churchill
I will not pretend that if I had to choose between communism and Nazism I would choose communism.
Winston Churchill
They feed the crocodile in the hope that he will eat them last.
Winston Churchill
We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.
Winston Churchill
Do you know why the nose of the bull dog is sloped backwards? So it can keep on breathing without ever letting go.
Winston Churchill
Great and good are seldom the same man.
Winston Churchill
Do not let us speak of darker days, let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days-the greatest days our country has ever lived and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.
Winston Churchill
And a pamphlet called Pick me up There is no genuine hatred against Herr Hitler.
Winston Churchill
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
Winston Churchill
