It is a fine game to play - the game of politics - and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.
Winston Churchill
Image
Well, dinner would have been splendid... if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess.
Winston Churchill
Image
The rhinoceros stood ... about five hundred yards away ... not a twentieth-century animal at all, but an odd, grim straggler from the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
Image
Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward... The stronger the advocate of monarchical principle a man may be, the more zealously he must now endeavor to fortify the Throne and to give to His Majesty's successor that strength which can only come from the love of a united nation and Empire.
Winston Churchill
Image
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
Image
There never will be enough for everything while the world goes on. The more that is given the more there will be needed.
Winston Churchill
Image
When danger is far off we may think of our weakness when it is near we must not forget our strength.
Winston Churchill
Image
The English never draw a line without blurring it.
Winston Churchill
Image
They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.
Winston Churchill
Image
No matter how enmeshed a commander becomes in the elaboration of his own thoughts, it is sometimes necessary to take the enemy into account.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
Image
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state.
Winston Churchill
Image
Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but heroes fight like Greeks.
Winston Churchill
Image
Our free trade plan is quite simple. We say that every [citizen] shall have the right to buy whatever he wants, wherever he wants, at his own good pleasure, without restriction or discouragement from the state.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have not always been wrong. History will bear me out, particularly as I shall write that history myself.
Winston Churchill
Image
What kind of people do they [the Japanese] think we are?
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not believe there is the slightest chance of war with Japan in our lifetime. The Japanese are our allies.... Japan is at the other end of the world. She cannot menace our vital security in any way.... War with Japan is not a possibility which any reasonable government need take into account.

The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is remarkable that Lord Esher should be so much astray...We must conclude that an uncontrollable fondness for fiction forbade him to forsake it for fact. Such constancy is a defect in an historian.

He is like a female llama surprised in her bath.
