More quotes by Winston Churchill
Wars are not won by evacuations.
Winston Churchill
They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.
Winston Churchill
Time passes swiftly, but is it not joyous to see how great and growing is the treasure we have gathered together, amid the storms and stresses of so many eventful and to millions tragic and terrible years?
Winston Churchill
If you cannot read all your books...fondle them---peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.
Winston Churchill
Nothing should be done for spite's sake.
Winston Churchill
We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.
Winston Churchill
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
I was on the whole considerably discouraged by my school days... It is not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the very beginning of the race.
Winston Churchill
We must have a better word than prefabricated, why not ready-made?
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill
When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
It is all true, or it ought to be and more and better besides.
Winston Churchill
Writing is an adventure.
Winston Churchill
If you don't take change by the hand, it will take you by the throat.
Winston Churchill
We must learn from misfortune the means of future strength.
Winston Churchill
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
Winston Churchill
I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself
Winston Churchill
If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies, choking in his own blood upon the ground.
Winston Churchill
