More quotes by Winston Churchill
I am too busy. I have not time for worry.
Winston Churchill
Thus, be every device from the stick to the carrot, the emaciated Austrian donkey is made to pull the Nazi barrow up an ever-steepening hill.
Winston Churchill
There is required for the composition of a great commander not only massive common sense and reasoning power, not only imagination, but also an element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten.
Winston Churchill
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
Winston Churchill
Politics is like waking up in the morning. You never know whose head you'll find on the pillow.
Winston Churchill
One of the most important signs of the existence of a democracy is that when there is a knock at the door at 5 in the morning, one is completely certain that it is the milkman.
Winston Churchill
Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful.
Winston Churchill
Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
Winston Churchill
...Have the stresses of war been as bad to you personally as carrying through the policy of Collective Farms?
Winston Churchill
In war, the truth must be guarded by a body guard of lies.
Winston Churchill
The maxim, Nothing prevails but perfection, may be spelled PARALYSIS.
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
How I hated schools, and what a life of anxiety I lived there. I counted the hours to the end of every term, when I should return home.
Winston Churchill
Apt analogies are among the most formidable weapons of the rhetorician.
Winston Churchill
What kind of people do they [the Japanese] think we are?
Winston Churchill
Lobbyists are the touts of protected industries.
Winston Churchill
Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by the victories achieved under their direction than by the political results which flowed from them. Judged by that standard, I am not sure that I shall be held to have done very well.
Winston Churchill
Oh, what is the matter with poor Puggy-Wug? Pet him and kiss him and give him a hug. Run and fetch him a suitable drug. Wrap him up tenderly all in a rug. That is the way to cure Puggy-Wug.
Winston Churchill
Personally I think that private property has a right to be defended. Our civilisation is built up on property, and can only be defended by private property.
Winston Churchill
To try to be safe everywhere is to be strong nowhere.
Winston Churchill
