If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Winston Churchill
The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
Winston Churchill
Here is a law which is above the King and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a general charter is the great work of Magna Carta and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it
Winston Churchill
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
Is the only lesson of history to be that mankind is unteachable?
Winston Churchill
If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.
Winston Churchill
The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.
Winston Churchill
Playing golf is like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture.
Winston Churchill
It is better to be making the news than taking it, to be an actor rather than a critic.
Winston Churchill
