More quotes by Winston Churchill
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
So long as I am acting from duty and conviction, I am indifferent to taunts and jeers. I think they will probably do me more good than harm.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
A nation that forgets its past has no future.
Winston Churchill
When someone says to me, Ugh, you smoke. I reply, Ugh, you're ugly. I can quit smoking.
Winston Churchill
The whole of northern Norway was covered with snow to depths which none of our soldiers had ever seen, felt, or imagined. There were neither snow-shoes nor skis - still less skiers. We must do our best. Thus began this ramshackle campaign.
Winston Churchill
The malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.
Winston Churchill
We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed, to forget the feuds of a thousand years and work for the larger harmonies on which the future depends.
Winston Churchill
Some people did not like this ceremonious style. But after all when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.
Winston Churchill
I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.
Winston Churchill
If you put two economists xin a room, you get two opinions, unless one of them is Lord Keynes, in which case you get three opinions.
Winston Churchill
Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.
Winston Churchill
