More quotes by Winston Churchill
You leave out God, and you substitute the devil.
Winston Churchill
Most people hate the taste of beer - to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice that many people have been able to overcome.
Winston Churchill
With opportunity comes responsibility.
Winston Churchill
Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.

Winston Churchill
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
Saving is a fine thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
Winston Churchill
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Winston Churchill
Woe betide the leaders now perched on their dizzy pinnacles of triumph if they cast away at the conference table what the soldiers had won on a hundred bloodsoaked battlefields.

When one is in office one has no idea how damnable things can feel to the ordinary rank and file of the public.
Winston Churchill
It is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
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
English literature is a glorious inheritance which is open to all - there are no barriers, no coupons, and no restrictions. In the English language and in its great writers there are great riches and treasures, of which, of course, the Bible and Shakespeare stand along on the highest platform.
Winston Churchill
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.
Winston Churchill
We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.
Winston Churchill
Good and great are seldom in the same man.
Winston Churchill
You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.
Winston Churchill
Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
After a time, civil servants tend to become no longer servants and no longer civil.
Winston Churchill
Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.
Winston Churchill
