More quotes by Winston Churchill
My mother always seemed to me like a fairy princess: a radiant being possessed of limitless riches and power. She shone for me like the evening star. I loved her dearly.
Winston Churchill
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
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
Elderly people and those in authority cannot always be relied upon to take enlightened and comprehending views of what they call the indiscretions of youth.
Winston Churchill
[The politician] is asked to stand, he wants to sit, and he is expected to lie.
Winston Churchill
Listing your personal milestones is like storing a pocketful of sunshine for a rainy day. Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.
Winston Churchill
My greatest good fortune in a life of brilliant experiences has been to find you, and to lead my life with you. I don't feel far away from you out here at all. I feel very near in my heart and also I feel that the nearer I get to honour, the nearer I am to you.
Winston Churchill
It is not always possible to have everything go as one likes. In working with allies, it sometimes happens that they develop opinions of their own
Winston Churchill
Let us reconcile ourselves to the mysterious rhythm of our destinies, such as they must be in this world of space and time.
Winston Churchill
When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.
Winston Churchill
You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.
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
When a new book appears one should read an old one.
Winston Churchill
There are two kinds of success-initial and ultimate.
Winston Churchill
My tastes are simple. I like only the very best.
Winston Churchill
The maxim of the British people is 'business as usual.'
Winston Churchill
We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.
Winston Churchill
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill
Little did we guess that what has been called the century of the common man would witness as its outstanding feature more common men killing each other with greater facilities than any other five centuries together in the history of the world.
Winston Churchill
