More quotes by Winston Churchill
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
Winston Churchill
For good or for ill, air mastery is today the supreme expression of military power and fleets and armies, however vital and important, must accept a subordinate rank.
Winston Churchill
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by the victories achieved under their direction than by the political results which flowed from them. Judged by that standard, I am not sure that I shall be held to have done very well.
Winston Churchill
Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
Winston Churchill
...the high roads of the future will be clear, not only for us but for all, not only for our time but for a century to come.
Winston Churchill
Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
I have not made any arrogant, confident, boasting predictions at all. On the contrary, I have stuck hard to my blood, toil, tears and sweat, to which I have added muddle and mismanagement, and that, to some extend I must admit, is what you have got out of it.
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
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
I am a child of the House of Commons. I was brought up in my fathers house to believe in democracy. Trust the peoplethat was his message.
Winston Churchill
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
Winston Churchill
Haven't you learned yet that I put something more than whisky into my speeches.
Winston Churchill
If you are going through hell just keep going
Winston Churchill
If, however, there is to be a war of nerves let us make sure our nerves are strong and are fortified by the deepest convictions of our hearts.
Winston Churchill
Those who plan do better than those who do not plan, even should they rarely stick to their plan.
Winston Churchill
The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened not merely by rest, but by using other parts.
Winston Churchill
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end.
Winston Churchill
