More quotes by Winston Churchill
The English never draw a line without blurring it.
Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment - and yet - I can't help it - I enjoy every second of it.
Winston Churchill
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.
Winston Churchill
I wonder whether any other generation has seen such astounding revolutions of data and values as those through which we have lived. Scarcely anything material or established which I was brought up to believe was permanent and vital, has lasted. Everything I was sure or taught to be sure was impossible, has happened.
Winston Churchill
It may be that ... when the advance of destructive weapons enables everyone to kill everybody else nobody will want to kill anyone at all. [Referring to the hydrogen bomb.]
Winston Churchill
If you find something you really love, you will never work again.
Winston Churchill
Air superiority is the ultimate expression of military power.
Winston Churchill
Expert knowledge is limited knowledge
Winston Churchill
Mr. Churchill you're drunk! Mr. Churchill: And you, Lady Astor, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning. You, however, will still be ugly.
Winston Churchill
A nation that fails to honor its heroes, soon will have no heroes to honor.
Winston Churchill
I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
Winston Churchill
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Winston Churchill
All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.
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
[The politician] is asked to stand, he wants to sit, and he is expected to lie.
Winston Churchill
A hopeful disposition is not the sole qualification to be a prophet.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
If I had my way, I would write the word 'insure' over every door of every cottage and upon the blotting pad of every public man, because I am convinced that, for sacrifice that are conceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever.
Winston Churchill
The person of truth must be covered with bodyguards of lies.
Winston Churchill
