More quotes by Winston Churchill
Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are billed to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.
Winston Churchill
Let us set up a standard around which the brave and the loyal can rally.
Winston Churchill
I drink and smoke and I am two hundred percent fit.
Winston Churchill
The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation. Unfortunately, she does know how to speak.
Winston Churchill
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!
Winston Churchill
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
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 influence exercised over the human mind by apt analogies is and has always been immense. Whether they translate an established truth into simple language or whether they adventurously aspire to reveal the unknown, they are among the most formidable weapons of the rhetorician.
Winston Churchill
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern, if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told.
Winston Churchill
[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.
Winston Churchill
We are waiting for the long-promised invasion. So are the fishes.
Winston Churchill
Saving is a fine thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
Winston Churchill
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong. It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
The English never draw a line without blurring it.
Winston Churchill
We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.
Winston Churchill
Neville Chamberlain looked at foreign affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe.
Winston Churchill
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
Winston Churchill
