More quotes by Winston Churchill
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Winston Churchill
There comes a special moment in everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission - a mission for which he is uniquely qualified. In that moment, he will find greatness. It is his finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
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
When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
To secure your historical standing, be sure you are the first to write about it.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
And you, madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning.
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
Give me the facts, and I will twist them the way I want, to suit my argument.
Winston Churchill
I would tell myself that I was about to address the largest mass assembly of idiots ever gathered in the history of mankind.
Winston Churchill
Never give in, never! Be it concerning large things or small things, never, never, never!
Winston Churchill
Gentleman, I am hardening on this enterprise. I repeat, I am now hardening towards this enterprise.
Winston Churchill
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
Winston Churchill
We get to make a living we give to make a life.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill
We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.
Winston Churchill
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.
Winston Churchill
