More quotes by Winston Churchill
Watch your character for your character is your destiny.
Winston Churchill
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Winston Churchill
Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.
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
[My ideal of a good dinner] is to discuss good food, and, after this good food has been discussed, to discuss a good topic - with myself the chief conversationalist.
Winston Churchill
The poodle [Rufus] ate in the dining room with the rest of the [Churchill] family. A cloth was laid for him on the Persian carpet beside the head of the household, and no one else ate until the butler had served Rufus's meal.
Winston Churchill
It is better to be making the news than taking it, to be an actor rather than a critic.
Winston Churchill
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Winston Churchill
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
Make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Let the children have their night of fun and laughter... resolved that by our daring, these same children shall not be denied their right to live in a free and decent world.
Winston Churchill
It is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
At the depths of that dusty soul there is nothing but abject surrender.
Winston Churchill
Just to paint is great fun ... Try it if you have not done so - before you die.
Winston Churchill
Some civil servants are neither servants nor civil.
Winston Churchill
I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.
Winston Churchill
Never give in, never give in, never give in.
Winston Churchill
If you wanted nothing done at all, Balfour was the man for the job.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
