More quotes by Winston Churchill
The power of an air force is terrific when there is nothing to oppose it.
Winston Churchill
There is a good saying to the effect that when a new book appears one should read an old one. As as author I would not recommend too strict an adherence to this saying.
Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
I built with my own hands ... a large swimming-pool which was filtered to limpidity and could be heated to supplement our fickle sunshine.
Winston Churchill
We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.
Winston Churchill
A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.
Winston Churchill
You leave out God, and you substitute the devil.
Winston Churchill
In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left.
Winston Churchill
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather spend half an hour in the company of a top carpenter, than three hours in the company of an average brain surgeon
Winston Churchill
All wisdom is not new wisdom.
Winston Churchill
In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.
Winston Churchill
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
Winston Churchill
Now at last the slowly gathered, long-pent-up fury of the storm broke upon us. Four or five millions of men met each other in the first shock of the most merciless of all the wars of which record has been kept.
Winston Churchill
Success is often nothing more than moving from one failure to another with undiminished enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
I have had a number of threatening letters each week, some telling me the actual time and method of my death, and I don't like it.
Winston Churchill
The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.
Winston Churchill
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward
Winston Churchill
I was shown a picture by Cézanne of a blank wall of a house, which he had made instinct with the most delicate lights and colours.
Winston Churchill
