More quotes by Winston Churchill
Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.
Winston Churchill
Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Winston Churchill
it is the people who control the Government, not the Government the people.
Winston Churchill
All wisdom is not new wisdom.
Winston Churchill
The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade character, not technicalities.
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
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
Winston Churchill
Make sure that the beer - four pints a week - goes to the troops under fire before any of the parties in the rear get a drop.
Winston Churchill
The whole of northern Norway was covered with snow to depths which none of our soldiers had ever seen, felt, or imagined. There were neither snow-shoes nor skis - still less skiers. We must do our best. Thus began this ramshackle campaign.
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
The acts we engage in for appeasment today, we will have to remedy at far greater cost and remorse tomorrow.
Winston Churchill
Politics is more dangerous than war, for in war you are only killed once.
Winston Churchill
When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
Winston Churchill
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.
Winston Churchill
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Winston Churchill
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
The head cannot take in more than the seat can endure.
Winston Churchill
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
Winston Churchill
