More quotes by Winston Churchill
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
Winston Churchill
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.
Winston Churchill
All was there-the programme of German resurrection, the technique of party propaganda the plan for combating Marxism the concept of a National-Socialist State the rightful position of Germany at the summit ofthe world. Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.
Winston Churchill
Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Mr. Chamberlain loves the working man, he loves to see him work.
Winston Churchill
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. The fighters are our salvation, but the bombers alone provide the means of victory.
Winston Churchill
Schools have not necessarily much to do with education...they are mainly institutions of control where certain basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.
Winston Churchill
Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge
Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
Winston Churchill
Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
Winston Churchill
Most of the world's work is done by people who don't feel very well.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Winston Churchill
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.
Winston Churchill
Bessie Braddock: Winston, you're drunk. Churchill: Bessie, you're ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober.
