More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
There is a place for everyone, man and woman, old and young, hale and halt service in a thousand forms is open. There is no room now for the dilettante, the weakling, for the shirker, or the sluggard. From the highest to the humblest tasks, all are of equal honor all have their part to play.

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
Haven't you learned yet that I put something more than whisky into my speeches.
Winston Churchill
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Winston Churchill
It is all right to rat, but you can't re-rat.
Winston Churchill
I am writing in one of the Keepers' Lodges to wh I have returned after stalking & where I am waiting for the Prince of Wales. Quite the best day's sport I have had in this country - 4 good stags & home early!
Winston Churchill
The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
Winston Churchill
I cannot but think we have much to be thankful for, and more still to hope for in the future.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
