More quotes by Winston Churchill
I have not always been wrong. History will bear me out, particularly as I shall write that history myself.
Winston Churchill
How little can we foresee the consequences either of wise or unwise action, of virtue or of malice. Without this measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.
Winston Churchill
There is a place for everyone, man and woman, old and young, hale and halt service in a thousand forms is open. There is no room now for the dilettante, the weakling, for the shirker, or the sluggard. From the highest to the humblest tasks, all are of equal honor all have their part to play.
Winston Churchill
At one side of the palette there is white, at the other black and neither is ever used neat.
Winston Churchill
I have had a number of threatening letters each week, some telling me the actual time and method of my death, and I don't like it.
Winston Churchill
His name is Rufus II-but the II is silent.
Winston Churchill
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
Winston Churchill
It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of socialism.
Winston Churchill
I feel like an aeroplane at the end of its flight, in the dusk, with the petrol running out, in search of a safe landing.
Winston Churchill
The most formidable people in the world, and now the most dangerous, people who... lay down the doctrine that every frontier must be the starting out point for invasion.
Winston Churchill
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
Winston Churchill
Most of the significant contributions that have been made to society have been made by people who were tired.
Winston Churchill
It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.
Winston Churchill
Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
Winston Churchill
A good party man puts his party above himself and his country above his party.
Winston Churchill
I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.
Winston Churchill
We shape our homes and then our homes shape us.
Winston Churchill
One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.
Winston Churchill
Unless we establish some form of world government, it will not be possible for us to avert a World War III in the future.
Winston Churchill
Indeed I do not think we should be justified in using any but the more sombre tones and colours while our people, our Empire, and indeed the whole English-speaking world are passing through a dark and deadly valley.
Winston Churchill
