Winston Churchill
Those good at war aren't good at peace, and those good at peace aren't good at war.
Winston Churchill
There is a treasure in the heart of every man if you can only find it
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
Winston Churchill
It is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
Winston Churchill
Armed with a paint-box, one cannot be bored, one cannot be left at a loose end, one cannot 'have several days on one's hands.
Winston Churchill
If you find something you really love, you will never work again.
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
I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.
Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
