More quotes by Winston Churchill
Hess or no Hess, I'm going to watch the Marx Brothers.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
Give us the tools, and we will finish the job
Winston Churchill
My hope is that the generous instincts of unity will not depart from us...[so that we] become the prey of the little folk who exist in every country and who frolic alongside the Juggernaut car of war to see what fun or notoriety they can extract from the proceedings.
Winston Churchill
Do what you like, but like what you do.
Winston Churchill
When someone says to me, Ugh, you smoke. I reply, Ugh, you're ugly. I can quit smoking.
Winston Churchill
The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending.
Winston Churchill
When I look round to see how we can win the war, I see that there is only one sure path . . . and that is absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland.
Winston Churchill
Our free trade plan is quite simple. We say that every [citizen] shall have the right to buy whatever he wants, wherever he wants, at his own good pleasure, without restriction or discouragement from the state.
Winston Churchill
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
I am sorry to have made such a long speech, but I did not have time to write a shorter one.
Winston Churchill
Headmasters have powers at their disposal with which Prime ministers have never yet been invested.
Winston Churchill
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill
Your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn.
Winston Churchill
Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.
Winston Churchill
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
Winston Churchill
It is not given to princes, statesmen and captains to pierce the mysteries of the future, and even the most penetrating gaze reaches only conclusions which, however seemingly vindicated at a given moment, are inexorably effaced by time.
Winston Churchill
[Magna Carta provided] a system of checks and balances which would accord the monarchy its necessary strength, but would prevent its perversion by a tyrant or a fool.
Winston Churchill
Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.
Winston Churchill
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
