More quotes by Winston Churchill
We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.
Winston Churchill
In order to become a great man, one must first be a great rascal.
Winston Churchill
Far be it from me to paint a rosy picture of the future...But I should be failing in my duty if, on the other side, I were not to convey the true impression, that this great nation is getting into its war stride.
Winston Churchill
A polo handicap is a persons ticket to the world.
Winston Churchill
The pictorial battlefield becomes a sea of mud mercifully veiled by the fog of war.
Winston Churchill
The difference between mere management and leadership is communication.
Winston Churchill
I had no idea of the enormous and unquestionably helpful part that humbug plays in the social life of great peoples dwelling in a state of democratic freedom.
Winston Churchill
Who's in or out, who moves the grand machine, Nor stirs my curiosity, or spleen Secrets of state no more I wish to know Than secret movements of a puppet-show Let but the puppets move, I've my desire, Unseen the hand which guides the master wire.
Winston Churchill
The essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill
Unpunctuality is a vile habit.
Winston Churchill
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.
Winston Churchill
It cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude.
Winston Churchill
Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
Winston Churchill
Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern, if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told.
Winston Churchill
How fortunate it was for the world that when these great trials came upon it there was a generation that terror could not conquer and brutal violence could not enslave.
Winston Churchill
There is no surer method of economizing and saving money than in the reduction of the number of officials.
Winston Churchill
The struggle which is now beginning between the Zionist and Bolshevik Jews is little less than a struggle for the soul of the Jewish people.
Winston Churchill
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Winston Churchill
... painting a picture is like fighting a battle and trying to paint a picture is, I suppose, like trying to fight a battle. It is, if anything, more exciting than fighting it successfully. But the principle is the same.
Winston Churchill
