Quote

The arts are essen­tial to any com­plete national life. The State owes it to itself to sus­tain and encour­age them. [...] Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the rev­er­ence and delight which are their due.

More quotes by Winston Churchill

Image
I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is a much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not wonder that British youth is in revolt against the morbid doctrine that nothing matters but the equal sharing of miseries that what used to be called the submerged tenth can only be rescued by bringing the other nine-tenths down to their le.
Winston Churchill
Image
As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
Winston Churchill
Image
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Image
The most formidable people in the world, and now the most dangerous, people who... lay down the doctrine that every frontier must be the starting out point for invasion.
Winston Churchill
Image
Well, dinner would have been splendid... if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is a treasure in the heart of every man if you can only find it
Winston Churchill
Image
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Image
My education was interrupted only by my schooling.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
Image
Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.
Winston Churchill
Image
Without execution, thinking is mere idleness.
Winston Churchill
Image
For the first time I heard shots fired in anger, heard bullets strike flesh or whistle through the air.
Winston Churchill
Image
It may be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Winston Churchill
Image
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
Winston Churchill
Image
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.

If you are going to go through hell, keep going
