Do what you like, but like what you do.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.
Winston Churchill
Image
Where there is a great deal of free speech there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.
Winston Churchill
Image
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
Image
Hatred plays the same part in government as acid in chemistry.
Winston Churchill
Image
If you simply take up the attitude of defending a mistake, there will no hope of improvement.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing.
Winston Churchill
Image
Your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn.
Winston Churchill
Image
All I want is compliance with my wishes, after reasonable discussion.
Winston Churchill
Image
He has to conceal what he would most wish to make public, and make public what he would most wish to conceal.
Winston Churchill
Image
It would be a great reform in politics if perception could be made to spread as easily and as rapidly as foolishness.
Winston Churchill
Image
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
Image
The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
Do not turn the superior eye of critical passivity upon these efforts .... We must not be ambitious. We cannot aspire to masterpieces. We may content ourselves with a joy ride in a paint-box.
Winston Churchill
Image
Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.
Winston Churchill
Image
There must be what Mr. Gladstone many years ago called a blessed act of oblivion. We must all turn our backs upon the horrors of the past. We must look to the future. We cannot afford to drag forward across the years that are to come the hatreds and revenges which have sprung from the injuries of the past.
