More quotes by Winston Churchill
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
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
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
I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia... by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race... has come in and taken its place.
Winston Churchill
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
Winston Churchill
There is no limit to the ingenuity of man if it is properly and vigorously applied under conditions of peace and justice.
Winston Churchill
Just to paint is great fun. The colours are lovely to look at and delicious to squeeze out. Matching them, however crudely, with what you see is fascinating and absolutely absorbing.
Winston Churchill
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
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
Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Winston Churchill
It may be that ... when the advance of destructive weapons enables everyone to kill everybody else nobody will want to kill anyone at all. [Referring to the hydrogen bomb.]
Winston Churchill
Socialism is like a dream. Sooner or later you wake up to reality.
Winston Churchill
Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.
Winston Churchill
No two on earth in all things can agree. All have some daring singularity.
Winston Churchill
There must be what Mr. Gladstone many years ago called a blessed act of oblivion. We must all turn our backs upon the horrors of the past. We must look to the future. We cannot afford to drag forward across the years that are to come the hatreds and revenges which have sprung from the injuries of the past.
Winston Churchill
One cannot leap a chasm in two jumps.
Winston Churchill
It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
Winston Churchill
The further back I look, the further forward I can see.
Winston Churchill
A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk', to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly.
Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
