More quotes by Winston Churchill
We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.
Winston Churchill
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.
Winston Churchill
No compromise with the main purpose no peace till victory no pact with unrepentant wrong.
Winston Churchill
Our inheritance of well-founded, slowly conceived codes of honor, morals and manners, the passionate convictions which so many hundreds of millions share together of the principles of freedom and justice, are far more precious to us than anything which scientific discoveries could bestow.
Winston Churchill
You must look at facts, because they look at you.
Winston Churchill
We shall not fail or falter we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
Winston Churchill
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
Winston Churchill
The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.
Winston Churchill
Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.
Winston Churchill
it so often happens that, when men are convinced that they have to die, a desire to bear themselves well and to leave life's stage with dignity conquers all other sensations.
Winston Churchill
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril.
Winston Churchill
When a nation has allowed itself to fall under a tyrannical regime, it cannot be absolved from the faults due to the guilt of that regime.
Winston Churchill
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all.
Winston Churchill
It is a socialist idea that making profits is a vice I consider the real vice is making losses.
Winston Churchill
What kind of people do they think we are? Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?
Winston Churchill
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
Winston Churchill
