More quotes by Winston Churchill
It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear about two of them nothing can be done, so it's no use worrying and two perhaps can be settled.
Winston Churchill
By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.
Winston Churchill
Free speech carries with it the evil of all foolish, unpleasant venomous things that are said but, on the whole, we would rather lump them than do away with them.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Success is never final.

Winston Churchill
Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.
Winston Churchill
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Winston Churchill
Indeed I do not think we should be justified in using any but the more sombre tones and colours while our people, our Empire, and indeed the whole English-speaking world are passing through a dark and deadly valley.
Winston Churchill
If you mean to profit, learn to please.
Winston Churchill
You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more variegated your universe. When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.
Winston Churchill
Courage is the ability to go from failure to failure with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
