More quotes by Winston Churchill
The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there's no limit to the power it can generate.
Winston Churchill
The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
Winston Churchill
There is scarcely anything more important in the government of men than the exact - I will ever say pedantic - observance of the regular forms by which the guilt or innocence of accused persons is determined.
Winston Churchill
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
Winston Churchill
The English are loth to express their feelings, but in my stall in the choir I could feel the pent-up, passionate emotion, and also the fear of the congregation, not of death or wounds or material loss, but of defeat and the final ruin of Britain.
Winston Churchill
I had no idea of the enormous and unquestionably helpful part that humbug plays in the social life of great peoples dwelling in a state of democratic freedom.
Winston Churchill
We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have made us what we are.
Winston Churchill
I hope I shall never see the day when the Force of Right is deprived of the Right of Force.
Winston Churchill
The further back I look, the further forward I can see.
Winston Churchill
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.
Winston Churchill
The oldest habit in the world for resisting change is to complain that unless the remedy to the disease should be universally applied it should not be applied at all. But you must start somewhere.
Winston Churchill
In finance everything that is agreeable is unsound and everything that is sound is disagreeable.
Winston Churchill
My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop.
Winston Churchill
It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of socialism.
Winston Churchill
In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.
Winston Churchill
The most important thing about education is appetite.
Winston Churchill
