More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police.
Winston Churchill
Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I think it is the most important subject facing this country, but I cannot get any of my ministers to take any notice.
Winston Churchill
The Russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people.
Winston Churchill
All I want is compliance with my wishes, after reasonable discussion.
Winston Churchill
I hope I shall never see the day when the Force of Right is deprived of the Right of Force.
Winston Churchill
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
Winston Churchill
You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.
Winston Churchill
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
Winston Churchill
I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
