The press is easier to strangle than to look in the eyes.
Winston Churchill
Image
...Have the stresses of war been as bad to you personally as carrying through the policy of Collective Farms?
Winston Churchill
Image
I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.
Winston Churchill
Image
Writing a long and substantial book is like having a friend and companion at your side, to whom you can always turn for comfort and amusement, and whose society becomes more attractive as a new and widening field of interest is lighted in the mind.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.
Winston Churchill
Image
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
Winston Churchill
Image
An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April we pay it back with golden interest five months later.
Winston Churchill
Image
I never slept as soundly as the night following Pearl Harbor. For I knew that The American Race would now be entering the war and it would never be the same.
Winston Churchill
Image
To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
There is a good saying to the effect that when a new book appears one should read an old one. As as author I would not recommend too strict an adherence to this saying.
Winston Churchill
Image
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Winston Churchill
Image
With the end of the Victorian era, we passed into what I feel I must call the terrible 20th century
Winston Churchill
Image
Bearing ourselves humbly before God... we await undismayed the impending assault.... be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms, we shall tolerate no parlay we may show mercy - we shall ask for none.
Winston Churchill
Image
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper-no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point.
Winston Churchill
Image
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
Image
Now at last the slowly gathered, long-pent-up fury of the storm broke upon us. Four or five millions of men met each other in the first shock of the most merciless of all the wars of which record has been kept.
