More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.
Winston Churchill
[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.
Winston Churchill
Haven't you learned yet that I put something more than whisky into my speeches.
Winston Churchill
My hand seemed arrested by a silent veto.
Winston Churchill
If I had my way, I would write the word 'insure' over every door of every cottage and upon the blotting pad of every public man, because I am convinced that, for sacrifice that are conceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever.
Winston Churchill
There is nothing like oratory, it is a skill that can turn a commoner into a king.
Winston Churchill
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
When someone says to me, Ugh, you smoke. I reply, Ugh, you're ugly. I can quit smoking.
Winston Churchill
