Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are billed to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.
Winston Churchill
If you find a job you love, you'll never work again.
Winston Churchill
If you destroy a free market you create a black market.
Winston Churchill
I am a man of simple tastes-I am quite easily satisfied with the best of everything.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
Winston Churchill
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative.
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

Winston Churchill
The Golcondas were considered incomparably the best team in Southern India ... [But] we defeated [them] by 9 goals to 3. On succeeding days we made short work of all other opponents, and established the record, never since broken, of winning a first-class tournament within fifty days of landing in India.
Winston Churchill
How many have gone? How many more to go? The Admiralty is fast asleep and lethargy & inertia are the order of the day. However everybody seems delighted - so there is nothing to be said. No plans, no enterprise, no struggle to aid the general cause. Just sit still on the spacious throne and snooze.
Winston Churchill
One must regard the hyphen as a blemish to be avoided wherever possible.
Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
Winston Churchill
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.
Winston Churchill
Ethics evolve naturally, and we trample upon them with laws created by reason and experience.
Winston Churchill
A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.
Winston Churchill
