More quotes by Winston Churchill
The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny.
Winston Churchill
The world today is ruled by harassed politicians absorbed in getting into office or turning out the other man so that not much room is left for debating the great issues on their merits
Winston Churchill
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
Great success always comes at the risk of enormous failure.
Winston Churchill

Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
Winston Churchill
It is no use dealing with illusions and make-believes. We must look at the facts. The world ... is too dangerous for anyone to be able to afford to nurse illusions. We must look at realities.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
But who in war will not have his laugh amid the skulls?
Winston Churchill
Praise the humanities, my boy. That'll make them think you're broadminded!
Winston Churchill
The substance of the eminent Socialist gentlemen's speech is that making a profit is a sin. It is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss!
Winston Churchill
Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.
Winston Churchill
Everyone can recognize history when it happens. Everyone can recognize history after is has happened but only the wise man knows at the moment what is vital and permanent, what is lasting and memorable.
Winston Churchill
The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.
Winston Churchill
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
Winston Churchill
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Winston Churchill
Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure and those whose work and pleasure are one.
Winston Churchill
