More quotes by Winston Churchill
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
Winston Churchill
I have always had a curious nature I enjoy learning, but I dislike being taught.
Winston Churchill
Never stand so high upon a principle that you cannot lower it to suit the circumstances.
Winston Churchill
It was my ambition all of my life to be master of the spoken word.

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
Winston Churchill
The English never draw a line without blurring it.
Winston Churchill
Rules were made for fools to follow and wise men to be guided by.
Winston Churchill
One can usually put one's thoughts better in one's own words.
Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
Winston Churchill
They had bombed London, whether on purpose or not, and the British people and London especially should know that we could hit back. It would be good for the morale of us all.
Winston Churchill
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
The most important thing about education is appetite.
Winston Churchill
The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
