More quotes by Winston Churchill

Image
I thought of a remark . . . that the United States is like a 'gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.' Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful.
Winston Churchill
Image
Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones.
Winston Churchill
Image
Vast and fearsome as the human scene has become, personal contact of the right people, in the right places, at the right time, may yet have a potent and valuable part to play in the cause of peace which is in our hearts.
Winston Churchill
Image
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly.
Winston Churchill
Image
Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.
Winston Churchill
Image
The tank was originally invented to clear a way for the infantry in the teeth of machine-gun fire. Now it is the infantry who will have to clear a way for the tanks.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is not given to princes, statesmen and captains to pierce the mysteries of the future, and even the most penetrating gaze reaches only conclusions which, however seemingly vindicated at a given moment, are inexorably effaced by time.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't interrupt me while I'm interrupting.
Winston Churchill
Image
Your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn.
Winston Churchill
Image
Rules were made for fools to follow and wise men to be guided by.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
Image
Do not turn the superior eye of critical passivity upon these efforts .... We must not be ambitious. We cannot aspire to masterpieces. We may content ourselves with a joy ride in a paint-box.
Winston Churchill
Image
I'm too busy. I have no time for worry.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisonous gas against uncivilized tribes.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.
Winston Churchill
Image
We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.
