More quotes by Winston Churchill

Image
Politics is like waking up in the morning. You never know whose head you'll find on the pillow.
Winston Churchill
Image
There comes a special moment in everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission - a mission for which he is uniquely qualified. In that moment, he will find greatness. It is his finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Image
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
Winston Churchill
Image
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation.
Winston Churchill
Image
Dead birds don't fall out of their nests.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you feel you cannot continue in your position for another minute, and all that is in human power has been done, that is the moment when the enemy is most exhausted, and when one step forward will give you the fruits of the struggle you have borne
Winston Churchill
Image
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
Winston Churchill
Image
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.
Winston Churchill
Image
An old battleax of a woman said to Winston Churchill, If you were my husband I would put poison in your tea. Churchill's response, Ma'am if you were my wife I would drink it.
Winston Churchill
Image
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Winston Churchill
Image
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
Image
Most people hate the taste of beer - to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice that many people have been able to overcome.
Winston Churchill
Image
We hoped to land a wild cat that would tear out the bowels of the Boche. Instead we have stranded a vast whale with its tail flopping about in the water.
Winston Churchill
Image
We do not covet anything from any nation except their respect.
