More quotes by Winston Churchill
I always like to learn, but I don't always like to be taught.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
No one ever finds life worth living - one has to make it worth living.
Winston Churchill
A polo handicap is a persons ticket to the world.
Winston Churchill
I am all for your using machines, but do not let them use you.
Winston Churchill
In handing over the Government of India to these so-called political classes, we are handing over to men of straw, of whom, in a few years, no trace will remain.
Winston Churchill
A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill
I was shown a picture by Cézanne of a blank wall of a house, which he had made instinct with the most delicate lights and colours.
Winston Churchill
Make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Let the children have their night of fun and laughter... resolved that by our daring, these same children shall not be denied their right to live in a free and decent world.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
The definition of courage is going from defeat to defeat with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
Winston Churchill
Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.
Winston Churchill
An iron curtain has descended over Europe.
Winston Churchill
The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
It always looks so easy to solve problems by taking the line of least resistance.
Winston Churchill
A good speech should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest
Winston Churchill
What kind of people do they think we are? Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?
Winston Churchill
Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut.
Winston Churchill
