More quotes by Winston Churchill
Next time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely love of adventure.
Winston Churchill
It may be that ... when the advance of destructive weapons enables everyone to kill everybody else nobody will want to kill anyone at all. [Referring to the hydrogen bomb.]
Winston Churchill
The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.
Winston Churchill
Armed with a paint-box, one cannot be bored, one cannot be left at a loose end, one cannot 'have several days on one's hands.
Winston Churchill
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.
Winston Churchill
It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.
Winston Churchill
There are men in the world who derive an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as other from success.
Winston Churchill
Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of society is not natural to mankind.
Winston Churchill
The United States stands at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.
Winston Churchill
You must look at facts, because they look at you.
Winston Churchill
The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.
Winston Churchill
In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left.
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
When a new book appears one should read an old one.
Winston Churchill
Never stand so high upon a principle that you cannot lower it to suit the circumstances.
Winston Churchill
The jury system has come to stand for all we mean by English justice. The scrutiny of 12 honest jurors provides defendants and plaintiffs alike a safeguard from arbitrary perversion of the law.
Winston Churchill
Oh, what is the matter with poor Puggy-Wug? Pet him and kiss him and give him a hug. Run and fetch him a suitable drug. Wrap him up tenderly all in a rug. That is the way to cure Puggy-Wug.
Winston Churchill
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!
Winston Churchill
