More quotes by Winston Churchill
You have to run risks. There are no certainties in war. There is a precipice on either side of you - a precipice of caution and a precipice of over-daring.
Winston Churchill
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
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
Victory is only wrested by running risks.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
A polo handicap is a persons ticket to the world.
Winston Churchill
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.
Winston Churchill
A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. They make frantic efforts to bar our thoughts and words they are afraid of the workings of the human mind.
Winston Churchill
God alone knows how great it is. All I hope is that it is not too late. I am very much afraid that it is. We can only do our best.
Winston Churchill
Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures.
Winston Churchill
History unfolds itself by strange and unpredictable paths. We have little control over the future and none at all over the past.
Winston Churchill
If you're going to walk through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of the Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews.
Winston Churchill
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill
If you wanted nothing done at all, Balfour was the man for the job.
Winston Churchill
Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.
Winston Churchill
Courage is the greatest virtue because it guarantees all the rest.
Winston Churchill
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
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
I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form.
Winston Churchill
