More quotes by Winston Churchill
There is no surer method of economizing and saving money than in the reduction of the number of officials.
Winston Churchill
The most important thing about education is appetite.
Winston Churchill
Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward... The stronger the advocate of monarchical principle a man may be, the more zealously he must now endeavor to fortify the Throne and to give to His Majesty's successor that strength which can only come from the love of a united nation and Empire.
Winston Churchill
It may be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.
Winston Churchill
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
Winston Churchill
I wonder whether any other generation has seen such astounding revolutions of data and values as those through which we have lived.

Winston Churchill
... I think it would be so much better for me to learn something which would be useful to me in the army, as well as affording me exercise and amusement.
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

Winston Churchill
Victory is not final. Defeat is not failure. It's all about courage.
Winston Churchill
You ought to let the Jews have Jerusalem it is they who made it famous.
Winston Churchill
Still, it is the primary right of men to die and kill for the land they live in, and to punish with exceptional severity all members of their own race who have warmed their hands at the invaders' hearth.
Winston Churchill
How I hated schools, and what a life of anxiety I lived there. I counted the hours to the end of every term, when I should return home.
Winston Churchill
Science unfolded her treasures and her secrets to the desperate demands of men, and placed in their hands agencies and apparatus almost decisive in their character. Reflecting on the outcome of World War I, and an ominous future.
Winston Churchill
Of all the branches of men in the forces there is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils than the submariners.
Winston Churchill
Oh, what is the matter with poor Puggy-Wug? Pet him and kiss him and give him a hug. Run and fetch him a suitable drug. Wrap him up tenderly all in a rug. That is the way to cure Puggy-Wug.
Winston Churchill
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill
No one ever finds life worth living - one has to make it worth living.
Winston Churchill
I am all for your using machines, but do not let them use you.
Winston Churchill
A modest little person, with much to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
