More quotes by Winston Churchill
Say what you have to say and the first time you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending - sit down.
Winston Churchill
If, however, there is to be a war of nerves let us make sure our nerves are strong and are fortified by the deepest convictions of our hearts.
Winston Churchill
In battles two things are usually required of the Commander-in-Chief: to make a good plan for his army and, secondly, to keep a strong reserve.
Winston Churchill
A heightened sense of the observation of nature is one of the chief delights that have come to me through trying to paint.
Winston Churchill
The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
Winston Churchill
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
The greatest advances in human civilization have come when we recovered what we had lost: when we learned the lessons of history.
Winston Churchill
You know, in war, you don't have to be nice. You only have to be right.
Winston Churchill
In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left.
Winston Churchill
We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
Winston Churchill
For the first time I heard shots fired in anger, heard bullets strike flesh or whistle through the air.
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
Where there is a great deal of free speech there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.
Winston Churchill
One can usually put one's thoughts better in one's own words.
Winston Churchill
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated we should probably make another set of mistakes.
Winston Churchill
We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.
Winston Churchill
The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the occupied territories, and a portent of the fate awaiting the Nazi tyranny.
Winston Churchill
I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form.
Winston Churchill
Don't give your sons money. Give them horses. Many a good son has been ruined through the acquisition of money but no good son has been ruined through the acquisition of horses. Unless they fell and broke their neck, which when taken at the gallop is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
The malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.
Winston Churchill
