More quotes by Winston Churchill
It is alarming ... to see Mr Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well-known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal Palace while he is still organising and conducting a campaign of civil disobedience.
Winston Churchill
Don't argue about the difficulties. The difficulties will argue for themselves.
Winston Churchill
Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful.
Winston Churchill
It was at Little Lodge I was first menaced with Education. The approach of a sinister figure described as 'the Governess' was announced.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston Churchill
An optimist sees the oportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Winston Churchill
You may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman, or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sum of their fears.
Winston Churchill
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory !!
Winston Churchill
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.
Winston Churchill
A communist is like a crocodile: when it opens its mouth you cannot tell whether it is trying to smile or preparing to eat you up.
Winston Churchill
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
