Winston Churchill
Image
How I hated schools, and what a life of anxiety I lived there. I counted the hours to the end of every term, when I should return home.
Winston Churchill
Image
You have to run risks. There are no certainties in war. There is a precipice on either side of you - a precipice of caution and a precipice of over-daring.
Winston Churchill
Image
No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Winston Churchill

Unpunctuality is a vile habit.
Winston Churchill

Which brings me to my conclusion upon Free Will and Predestination, namely - let the reader mark it - that they are identical.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have not become the Kings First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.
Winston Churchill
Image
We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.
Winston Churchill

One of the most important signs of the existence of a democracy is that when there is a knock at the door at 5 in the morning, one is completely certain that it is the milkman.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't give your sons money. Give them horses. Many a good son has been ruined through the acquisition of money but no good son has been ruined through the acquisition of horses. Unless they fell and broke their neck, which when taken at the gallop is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everyone threw the blame on me ... they nearly always do. I suppose ... they think I shall be able to bear it best.
