More quotes by Winston Churchill
The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.
Winston Churchill
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
Winston Churchill
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Winston Churchill
Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern, if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told.
Winston Churchill
What a fool I have been!
Winston Churchill
We shall fight in parking lots, we shall fight in empty fields and on wide streets, we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
I am not invested with dictatorial powers. If I were, I should be quite ready to dictate.
Winston Churchill
A small lie needs a bodyguard of bigger lies to protect it.
Winston Churchill
I hope I shall never see the day when the Force of Right is deprived of the Right of Force.
Winston Churchill
Immense deposits of kimmeridge clay, containing the oil-bearing bands or seams, stretch across England from Dorsetshire to Lincolnshire. [An early political recognition of the native resource. The Geological Survey had identified the inflammable oil shale in reports since at least 1888.]
Winston Churchill
Advertising nourishes the consuming power of men.
Winston Churchill
We (The British) have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill
But who in war will not have his laugh amid the skulls?
Winston Churchill
I do not see any other way of realizing our hopes about World Organization in five or six days. Even the Almighty took seven.
Winston Churchill
It is easier to give directions than advice, and more agreeable to have the right to act, even in a limited sphere, than the privilege to talk at large.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
