More quotes by Winston Churchill
It is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
Winston Churchill
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
Churchill says the Government had to choose between war and shame. They chose shame. They will get war, too.
Winston Churchill
Dead birds don't fall out of their nests.
Winston Churchill
From now on we shall bomb Germany on an ever-increasing scale, month by month, year by year, until the Nazi regime has either been exterminated by us or - better still - torn to pieces by the German people themselves.
Winston Churchill
War, which used to be cruel and magnificent has now become cruel and squalid.
Winston Churchill
Men and kings must be judged in the testing moments of their lives. Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Winston Churchill
Hasty work and premature decisions may lead to penalties out of all proportion to the issues immediately involved.
Winston Churchill
I have lived seventy-eight years without hearing of bloody places like Cambodia.
Winston Churchill
There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.
Winston Churchill
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
Winston Churchill
I began my education at a very early age in fact, right after I left college.
Winston Churchill
Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
Winston Churchill
To achieve the extirpation of Nazi tyranny there are no lengths of violence to which we will not go.
Winston Churchill
There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.
Winston Churchill
I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form.
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
A gentleman is a man who is only rude when he intends to be.
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.
Winston Churchill
We need to be strong in order to avoid war and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill
