More quotes by Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
Science burrows its insulted head in the filth of slaughterous inventions.
Winston Churchill
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Winston Churchill
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an ever smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose
Winston Churchill
The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.
Winston Churchill
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Winston Churchill
Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear - I fear greatly - the storm will not pass. It will rage and it will roar, even more loudly, even more widely.
Winston Churchill
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative.
Winston Churchill
We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.
Winston Churchill
The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is perfect on the human stage.
Winston Churchill
There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.
Winston Churchill
I had no idea of the enormous and unquestionably helpful part that humbug plays in the social life of great peoples dwelling in a state of democratic freedom.
Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Winston Churchill
This fulfils my ambition. I still have my father's robe as Chancellor. I shall be proud to serve you in this splendid office.
Winston Churchill
Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
