Image
For the first 25 years of my life, I wanted freedom. For the next 25 years, I wanted order. For the next 25 years, I realized that order is freedom.
Winston Churchill
Image
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is in the interest of the wage-earner to have many other alternatives open to him than service under one all-powerful employer called the State
Winston Churchill

To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.
Winston Churchill
Image
Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.

There is at least one thing worse than fighting with allies - And that is to fight without them
Winston Churchill
Image
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.

We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the Air. The Fighters are our salvation . . . but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. . . . In no other way at present visible can we hope to overcome the immense military power of Germany.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
Image
[Much] as war attracts me and fascinates my mind with its tremendous situations, I feel more deeply every year . . . what vile and wicked folly and barbarism it all is.
Winston Churchill

The cemetery is full of indispensable people.
Winston Churchill
Image
Elderly people and those in authority cannot always be relied upon to take enlightened and comprehending views of what they call the indiscretions of youth.
Winston Churchill
Image
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.

Playing golf is like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture.

Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.
Winston Churchill
Image
This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers, not only in this Island but in every land, who will render faithful service in this war, but whose names will never be known, whose deeds will never be recorded. This is a War of the Unknown Warriors
Winston Churchill
Image
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.
Winston Churchill

They have done what they like. Their difficulty is to like what they have done.
