The eagle has ceased to scream, but the parrots will now begin to chatter. The war of the giants is over and the pigmies will now start to squabble.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as a good tax.
Winston Churchill
A hopeful disposition is not the sole qualification to be a prophet.
Winston Churchill
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
Dead birds don't fall out of their nests.
Winston Churchill
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
Winston Churchill
The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there's no limit to the power it can generate.
Winston Churchill
The soul of freedom is deathless it cannot, and will not perish.
Winston Churchill
It has not fallen to your lot to command great armies. You had to create them, organize them and inspire them.
Winston Churchill
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
Winston Churchill
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
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
If you want me to speak for two minutes, it will take me three weeks of preparation. If you want me to speak for thirty minutes, it will take me a week to prepare. If you want me to speak for an hour, I am ready now.
Winston Churchill
Things do not get better by being left alone.
Winston Churchill
All this contains much that is obviously true, and much that is relevant unfortunately, what is obviously true is not relevant, and what is relevant is not obviously true.
Winston Churchill
The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
Winston Churchill
Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.
Winston Churchill
We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonalty. But we have our own dreams and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed.
Winston Churchill
There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.
Winston Churchill
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
Winston Churchill
Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.
Winston Churchill
