I'd rather be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American and my mother British instead of the other way around, I might have gotten here on my own.
Winston Churchill
Perfectionism spells paralysis.
Winston Churchill
Unless some effective supranational government can be set up and brought quickly into action, the prospects of peace and human progress are dark and doubtful.
Winston Churchill
Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
Winston Churchill
You must be prepared for further efforts of mind and body and further sacrifices to great causes, if you are not to fall back into the rut if inertia, the confusion of aim and the craven fear of being great.
Winston Churchill
Here is a law which is above the King and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a general charter is the great work of Magna Carta and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it
Winston Churchill
When a new book appears one should read an old one.
Winston Churchill
We shall not fail or falter we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
The late M. Venizelos observed that in all her wars Englandhe should have said Britain, of coursealways wins one battlethe last.
Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
The Aryan stock is bound to triumph.
Winston Churchill
The English are loth to express their feelings, but in my stall in the choir I could feel the pent-up, passionate emotion, and also the fear of the congregation, not of death or wounds or material loss, but of defeat and the final ruin of Britain.
Winston Churchill
The person of truth must be covered with bodyguards of lies.
Winston Churchill
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
Meet success like a gentleman disaster like a man.
Winston Churchill
Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one.
Winston Churchill
Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.
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
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
