More quotes by Winston Churchill
Mr. Gladstone read Homer for fun, which I thought served him right.
Winston Churchill
One can usually put one's thoughts better in one's own words.
Winston Churchill
Building slow destroyers ! One might as well breed slow race horses.
Winston Churchill
Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward
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
I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.
Winston Churchill
If you wanted nothing done at all, Balfour was the man for the job.
Winston Churchill
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
... I think it would be so much better for me to learn something which would be useful to me in the army, as well as affording me exercise and amusement.
Winston Churchill
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill
It is wonderful what great strides can be made when there is a resolute purpose behind them.
Winston Churchill
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
Playing golf is like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture.
Winston Churchill
I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.
Winston Churchill
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril.
Winston Churchill
For the first 25 years of my life, I wanted freedom. For the next 25 years, I wanted order. For the next 25 years, I realized that order is freedom.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies, choking in his own blood upon the ground.
Winston Churchill
If you simply take up the attitude of defending a mistake, there will no hope of improvement.
Winston Churchill
