More quotes by Winston Churchill
Hess or no Hess, I'm going to watch the Marx Brothers.
Winston Churchill
It has not fallen to your lot to command great armies. You had to create them, organize them and inspire them.
Winston Churchill
Life is a test and this world a place of trial.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is more dangerous in wartime than to live in the temperamental atmosphere of a Gallup Poll, always feeling one's pulse and taking one's temperature.
Winston Churchill
He [President Franklin D. Roosevelt] died in harness, and we may well say in battle harness, like his soldiers, sailors and airmen who died side by side with ours and carrying out their tasks to the end all over the world. What an enviable death was his.
Winston Churchill
When the war of the giants is over the wars of the pygmies will begin.
Winston Churchill
The one who cannot see that on Earth a big endeavor is taking place, an important plan, on which realization we are allowed to collaborate as faithful servants, certainly has to be blind.
Winston Churchill
Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
Winston Churchill
My mother made a brilliant impression upon my childhood life. She shone for me like the evening star.
Winston Churchill
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
There is required for the composition of a great commander not only massive common sense and reasoning power, not only imagination, but also an element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten.
Winston Churchill
The cost of solving the Comet mystery must be reckoned neither in money nor in manpower.
Winston Churchill
I could not help reflecting that the bullet which had struck the chestnut [horse] had certainly passed within a foot of my head. So at any rate I had been 'under fire.' That was something.
Winston Churchill
The Great War differed from all ancient wars in the immense power of the combatants and their fearful agencies of destruction, and from all modern wars in the utter ruthlessness with which it was fought.
Winston Churchill
The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation. Unfortunately, she does know how to speak.
Winston Churchill
Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
Winston Churchill
Next time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely love of adventure.
Winston Churchill
To improve is to change.
Winston Churchill
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.
Winston Churchill
