More quotes by Winston Churchill
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
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
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.
Winston Churchill
Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.

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
Nothing should be done for spite's sake.
Winston Churchill
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
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
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself.
Winston Churchill
Our free trade plan is quite simple. We say that every [citizen] shall have the right to buy whatever he wants, wherever he wants, at his own good pleasure, without restriction or discouragement from the state.
Winston Churchill
Any clever person can make plans for winning a war if he has no responsibility for carrying them out.
Winston Churchill
There is nothing like oratory, it is a skill that can turn a commoner into a king.
Winston Churchill
This beginning with Audacity, or being thrown into the middle of it, is already a very great part of the art of painting.
