The loyalties which center upon number one are enormous. If he trips, he must be sustained. If he make mistakes, they must be covered. If he sleeps, he must not be wantonly disturbed. If he is no good, he must be pole-axed.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
To improve is to change.
Winston Churchill
The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.
Winston Churchill
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.
Winston Churchill
The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.
Winston Churchill
Where there is a great deal of free speech there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.
Winston Churchill
I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.
Winston Churchill
No matter how enmeshed a commander becomes in the elaboration of his own thoughts, it is sometimes necessary to take the enemy into account.
Winston Churchill
If you find something you really love, you will never work again.
Winston Churchill
Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.
Winston Churchill
When I find a ladybug I ask the butler to take it outside instead of killing it.
Winston Churchill
Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.
Winston Churchill
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill
I have not become the Kings First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.
Winston Churchill
A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill
Mountaintops inspire leaders but valleys mature them.
Winston Churchill
Don't be content to be the chip off the old block - be the old block itself.
Winston Churchill
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
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
