More quotes by Winston Churchill
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Winston Churchill
It is remarkable that Lord Esher should be so much astray...We must conclude that an uncontrollable fondness for fiction forbade him to forsake it for fact. Such constancy is a defect in an historian.
Winston Churchill
You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.
Winston Churchill
The only thing wrong with Christianity is the lack of suffering.
Winston Churchill
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
Air power can either paralyze the enemy's military action or compel him to devote to the defense of his bases and communications a share of his straitened resources far greater that what we need in the attack.
Winston Churchill
There is in the act of preparing, the moment you start caring.
Winston Churchill
History unfolds itself by strange and unpredictable paths. We have little control over the future and none at all over the past.
Winston Churchill
If you recognize anyone it does not mean you like them.
Winston Churchill
You must put your head into the lion's mouth if the performance is to be a success.
Winston Churchill
I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.
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
The acts we engage in for appeasment today, we will have to remedy at far greater cost and remorse tomorrow.
Winston Churchill
It is a socialist idea that making profits is a vice I consider the real vice is making losses.
Winston Churchill
If you find a job you love, you'll never work again.
Winston Churchill
It saves a lot of trouble if, instead of having to earn money and save it, you can just go and borrow it.
Winston Churchill
Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
During their lifetimes, every man and woman will stumble across a great opportunity. Sadly, most of them will simply pick themselves up, dust themselves down and carry on as if nothing ever happened.
Winston Churchill
Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear - I fear greatly - the storm will not pass. It will rage and it will roar, even more loudly, even more widely.
Winston Churchill
