More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Great and good are seldom the same man.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Do what you like, but like what you do.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Writing a long and substantial book is like having a friend and companion at your side, to whom you can always turn for comfort and amusement, and whose society becomes more attractive as a new and widening field of interest is lighted in the mind.
Winston Churchill
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
Winston Churchill
No one can understand history without continually relating the long periods which are constantly mentioned to the experiences of our own short lives.
Winston Churchill
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Winston Churchill
One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.
Winston Churchill
