Quote

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.

Image
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
Image
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
Image
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter
Winston Churchill
Image
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.
Winston Churchill

India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.
Winston Churchill
Image
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
Image
When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
Winston Churchill
Image
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Image
Good night, then - sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly on all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill
Image
He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Winston Churchill
Image
It was my ambition all of my life to be master of the spoken word.
Winston Churchill

Perfecting and selling your writing is a lifelong task. If you are a persistent writer, you can expect your abilities to improve with time. Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Image
The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.
Winston Churchill
Image
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Image
If you put two economists xin a room, you get two opinions, unless one of them is Lord Keynes, in which case you get three opinions.
Winston Churchill
Image
I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American and my mother British instead of the other way around, I might have gotten here on my own.
Winston Churchill
Image
Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits
