More quotes by Winston Churchill
Is it possible to get another key? I think I've left mine in the room.
Winston Churchill
The Golcondas were considered incomparably the best team in Southern India ... [But] we defeated [them] by 9 goals to 3. On succeeding days we made short work of all other opponents, and established the record, never since broken, of winning a first-class tournament within fifty days of landing in India.
Winston Churchill
Luckily ... there were Zulus and Afghans, also the Dervishes in the Soudan. Some of these might, if they were well-disposed, 'put up a show' some day.
Winston Churchill
Success and happiness spring from facing failure after failure with enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill
When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial... I thought I knew a good deal about it all, I was sure I should not fail.
Winston Churchill
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
Winston Churchill
If I were the first of May, I should be ashamed of myself.
Winston Churchill
It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
Winston Churchill
God for a month of power & a good shorthand writer.
Winston Churchill
If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.
Winston Churchill
I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.
Winston Churchill
Men often stumble onto the truth but then quickly dust themselves off and hurry away.
Winston Churchill
Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.
Winston Churchill
I did not like the man [Niels Bohr] when you showed him to me, with his hair all overhis head.
Winston Churchill
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston Churchill
