More quotes by Winston Churchill
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Winston Churchill
I expect you will find that change is the best kind of rest.
Winston Churchill
The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.
Winston Churchill
Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have made us what we are.
Winston Churchill
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Winston Churchill
War, which used to be cruel and magnificent has now become cruel and squalid.
Winston Churchill
The Times is speechless, and takes three columns to express its speechlessness.
Winston Churchill
The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship.
Winston Churchill
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
I accumulated in those years so fine a surplus in the Book of Observance that I have been drawing confidently upon it ever since.
Winston Churchill
Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.
Winston Churchill
Maybe when it seems the entire world is shouting no!
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
Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.
Winston Churchill
Next time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely love of adventure.
Winston Churchill
Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.
Winston Churchill
Victory is the beautiful, bright-colored flower. Transport is the stem without which it could never have blossomed.
Winston Churchill
If you wanted nothing done at all, Balfour was the man for the job.
Winston Churchill
Anyone who is not a liberal in his youth has no heart. Anyone who remains so as he matures has no brain!
