More quotes by Winston Churchill
Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is more dangerous in wartime than to live in the temperamental atmosphere of a Gallup Poll, always feeling one's pulse and taking one's temperature.
Winston Churchill
I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.
Winston Churchill
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
We are really doing our very best. There are no doubt many mistakes and shortcomings. A lot of things are done none too well. Some things that ought to be done have not yet been done...[But Britain's effort has] justly commanded the wonder and admiration of every friendly nation in the world.
Winston Churchill
Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Don't give your son money. As far as you can afford it, give him horses.
Winston Churchill
The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery.
Winston Churchill
Logic is a poor guide compared with custom.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
Soviet Union foreign policy is a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma, and the key is Russian nationalism.
Winston Churchill
Everything trends towards catastrophe & collapse. I am interested, geared up & happy. Is it not horrible to be built like that?
Winston Churchill
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state.
Winston Churchill
I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself
Winston Churchill
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
War is horrible, but slavery is worse.
Winston Churchill
If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.
