I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
Winston Churchill

A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill

Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear - I fear greatly - the storm will not pass. It will rage and it will roar, even more loudly, even more widely.

Remember gentleman, it's not just France we're fighting for, it's Champagne!
Winston Churchill

We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I had my way, I would write the word 'insure' over every door of every cottage and upon the blotting pad of every public man, because I am convinced that, for sacrifice that are conceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
Winston Churchill
Image
Praise the humanities, my boy. That'll make them think you're broadminded!
Winston Churchill
Image
Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.
Winston Churchill
Image
America, can always be counted upon to do the right thing in the end, having first exhausted the available alternatives.
Winston Churchill
Image
In Russia a man is called reactionary if he objects to having his property stolen and his wife and children murdered.
Winston Churchill
Image
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
Winston Churchill
Image
Writing a long and substantial book is like having a friend and companion at your side, to whom you can always turn for comfort and amusement, and whose society becomes more attractive as a new and widening field of interest is lighted in the mind.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
I could not help reflecting that the bullet which had struck the chestnut [horse] had certainly passed within a foot of my head. So at any rate I had been 'under fire.' That was something.
