More quotes by Winston Churchill
People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
Winston Churchill
Even fools are right sometimes.
Winston Churchill
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
Winston Churchill
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.
Winston Churchill
When you feel you cannot continue in your position for another minute, and all that is in human power has been done, that is the moment when the enemy is most exhausted, and when one step forward will give you the fruits of the struggle you have borne
Winston Churchill
We proceeded systematically, village by village and we destroyed the houses, filled up the wells, blew down the towers, cut down the shady trees, burned the crops and broke the reservoirs in punitive devastation.
Winston Churchill
I have worked very hard with Nehru. I told him he should be the light of Asia, to show all those millions how they can shine out, instead of accepting the darkness of Communism.
Winston Churchill
There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.
Winston Churchill
I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof.
Winston Churchill
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
Winston Churchill
I was happy as a child with my toys in my nursery. I been happier every year since I became a man. But this interlude of school makes a somber grey patch upon the chart of my journey. It was a unending spell of worries that did not then seem petty, and of toil uncheered by fruition a time of discomfort, restriction and purposeless monotony.
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
Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.
Winston Churchill
The man who can master his time can master nearly anything.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
To improve is to change to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
There is the solution which I respectfully offer to you in this Address to which I have given the title The Sinews of Peace.
Winston Churchill
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
Winston Churchill
