More quotes by Winston Churchill
To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.
Winston Churchill
The poodle [Rufus] ate in the dining room with the rest of the [Churchill] family. A cloth was laid for him on the Persian carpet beside the head of the household, and no one else ate until the butler had served Rufus's meal.
Winston Churchill
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.

Winston Churchill
When a nation has allowed itself to fall under a tyrannical regime, it cannot be absolved from the faults due to the guilt of that regime.
Winston Churchill
Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
Winston Churchill
The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending.
Winston Churchill
There is at least one thing worse than fighting with allies - And that is to fight without them
Winston Churchill
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Winston Churchill
And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honour, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls round.
Winston Churchill
Air power can either paralyze the enemy's military action or compel him to devote to the defense of his bases and communications a share of his straitened resources far greater that what we need in the attack.
Winston Churchill
It saves a lot of trouble if, instead of having to earn money and save it, you can just go and borrow it.
Winston Churchill
