More quotes by Winston Churchill
The British people are good all through. You can test them as you would put a bucket into the sea and always find it salt.
Winston Churchill
It is better to do something than to do nothing while waiting to do everything.
Winston Churchill
No more let us alter or falter or palter. From Malta to Yalta, and Yalta to Malta.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
If you don't have any enemies in life you have never stood up for anything.
Winston Churchill
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Winston Churchill
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.
Winston Churchill
How I hated this school, and what a life of anxiety I lived there for more than two years.
Winston Churchill
The opposition occupies the benches in front of you, but the enemy sits behind you
Winston Churchill
Some civil servants are neither servants nor civil.
Winston Churchill
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.
Winston Churchill
A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.
Winston Churchill
The oldest habit in the world for resisting change is to complain that unless the remedy to the disease should be universally applied it should not be applied at all. But you must start somewhere.
Winston Churchill
I am in favor of deliberately spreading methodically prepared bacteria among people and animals -- mildew ... to destroy the harvests, anthrax to destroy horses and livestock, and the plague, in order to kill not only entire armies, but also the inhabitants of large regions.
Winston Churchill
By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.
Winston Churchill
Life is a test and this world a place of trial.
Winston Churchill
Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.
Winston Churchill
When Iraq becomes strong enough in our opinion to stand alone, we shall be in a position to state that our task has been fulfilled, and that Iraq is an independent sovereign state. But this cannot be said while we are forced year after year to spend very large sums of money on helping the Iraqi government to defend itself and maintain order.
Winston Churchill
We make our buildings and afterwards they make us. They regulate the course of our lives.
Winston Churchill
