More quotes by Winston Churchill
All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.
Winston Churchill
I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly.
Winston Churchill
I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.
Winston Churchill
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!
Winston Churchill
Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April we pay it back with golden interest five months later.
Winston Churchill
One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong. It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather be right than consistent.
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 is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.
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 pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Winston Churchill
In Success you deserve it and in defeat, you need it.
Winston Churchill
Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.
Winston Churchill
The test of real character is what a man does when he is tired.
Winston Churchill
A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
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
