The cat does more for the war effort than you do. He acts as a hot-water bottle and saves fuel and power.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope.
Winston Churchill
Our inheritance of well-founded, slowly conceived codes of honor, morals and manners, the passionate convictions which so many hundreds of millions share together of the principles of freedom and justice, are far more precious to us than anything which scientific discoveries could bestow.
Winston Churchill
Like other systems in decay, the Roman Empire continued to function for several generations after its vitality was sapped. For nearly a hundred years our Island was one of the scenes of conflict between a dying civilisation and lusty, famishing barbarism.
Winston Churchill
Gentleman, I am hardening on this enterprise. I repeat, I am now hardening towards this enterprise.
Winston Churchill
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear about two of them nothing can be done, so it's no use worrying and two perhaps can be settled.
Winston Churchill
I have watched this famous island descending incontinently, fecklessly, the stairway which lead to a dark gulf.
Winston Churchill
A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill
The most formidable people in the world, and now the most dangerous, people who... lay down the doctrine that every frontier must be the starting out point for invasion.
Winston Churchill
Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
[The politician] is asked to stand, he wants to sit, and he is expected to lie.
Winston Churchill
The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation. Unfortunately, she does know how to speak.
Winston Churchill
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
If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.
Winston Churchill
Never does a man portray his character more vividly than when proclaiming the character of another.
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
You leave out God, and you substitute the devil.
Winston Churchill
One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.
Winston Churchill
Give us the tools, and we will finish the job
Winston Churchill
