More quotes by Winston Churchill
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
Saving is a fine thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
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
Praise the humanities, my boy. That'll make them think you're broadminded!
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
With integrity, nothing else counts. Without integrity, nothing else counts.
Winston Churchill
Bearing ourselves humbly before God... we await undismayed the impending assault.... be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms, we shall tolerate no parlay we may show mercy - we shall ask for none.
Winston Churchill
Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Winston Churchill
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
Winston Churchill
Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.
Winston Churchill
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
Winston Churchill
The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as a good tax.
Winston Churchill
It is not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future. Still, I avow my hope and faith, sure and inviolate, that in the days to come the British and American peoples will for their own safety and for the good of all walk together side by side in majesty, in justice, and in peace.
Winston Churchill
Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.
Winston Churchill
The cat does more for the war effort than you do. He acts as a hot-water bottle and saves fuel and power.
Winston Churchill
No matter. The dead bird does not leave the nest.
Winston Churchill
Hatred plays the same part in government as acid in chemistry.
