More quotes by Winston Churchill
In finance everything that is agreeable is unsound and everything that is sound is disagreeable.
Winston Churchill
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill
Nature will not be admired by proxy.
Winston Churchill
The United States stands at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future.
Winston Churchill
History unfolds itself by strange and unpredictable paths. We have little control over the future and none at all over the past.
Winston Churchill
If this is a blessing, it is certainly very well disguised.
Winston Churchill
No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.
Winston Churchill
We are all worms. However, I like to think I'm a glow worm
Winston Churchill
No sky is heavy if the heart be light
Winston Churchill
There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.
Winston Churchill
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
Winston Churchill
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.
Winston Churchill
Our dog chases people on a bike. We've had to take it off him.
Winston Churchill
Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.
Winston Churchill
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
There is the solution which I respectfully offer to you in this Address to which I have given the title The Sinews of Peace.
Winston Churchill
For the first time I heard shots fired in anger, heard bullets strike flesh or whistle through the air.
Winston Churchill
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
