More quotes by Winston Churchill
The tank was originally invented to clear a way for the infantry in the teeth of machine-gun fire. Now it is the infantry who will have to clear a way for the tanks.
Winston Churchill
Socialism would gather all power to the supreme party and party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of civil servants no longer servants, no longer civil.
Winston Churchill
The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery.
Winston Churchill
And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honour, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls round.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
Strategy is all very well, but it pays to give thought from time to time to the results.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.
Winston Churchill
We get to make a living we give to make a life.
Winston Churchill
He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Winston Churchill
Mr. Chamberlain loves the working man, he loves to see him work.
Winston Churchill
Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.
Winston Churchill
The Almighty in His infinite wisdom did not see fit to create Frenchmen in the image of Englishmen.
Winston Churchill
Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by the victories achieved under their direction than by the political results which flowed from them. Judged by that standard, I am not sure that I shall be held to have done very well.
Winston Churchill
The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
Winston Churchill
Indeed I do not think we should be justified in using any but the more sombre tones and colours while our people, our Empire, and indeed the whole English-speaking world are passing through a dark and deadly valley.
Winston Churchill
Men will forgive a man anything except bad prose.
Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
Winston Churchill
I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.
Winston Churchill
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
