Quote

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

More quotes by Winston Churchill

Image
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
Image
...every offensive lost its force as it proceeded. It was like throwing a bucket of water over the floor. It first rushed forward, then soaked forward, and finally stopped altogether until another bucket could be brought.
Winston Churchill
Image
I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.
Winston Churchill
Image
This movement among the Jews is not new... This world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing... It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century.
Winston Churchill
Image
Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey hardship our garment constancy and valor our only shield. We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible.
Winston Churchill
Image
But who in war will not have his laugh amid the skulls?
Winston Churchill
Image
He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have lived seventy-eight years without hearing of bloody places like Cambodia.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia... by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race... has come in and taken its place.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
Image
Manifest destiny was on the march, and it was unfortunate that Mexico stood in the path.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
The test of a people is what they can do when they're tired.
Winston Churchill
Image
The worst mistake that a statesman can make is to promise victory and to see it dashed, the hopes dashed.
Winston Churchill
Image
Are you insinuating that I am a purveyor of terminological inexactitudes?
Winston Churchill
Image
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. The fighters are our salvation, but the bombers alone provide the means of victory.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't interrupt me while I'm interrupting.
Winston Churchill
Image
Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.
Winston Churchill
Image
If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.
Winston Churchill
Image
Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.
