Quote

I trust and believe that this College, this seed that we have sown, will grow to shelter and nurture generations who may add most notably to the strength and happiness of our people, and to the knowledge and peaceful progress of the world. 'The mighty oak from an acorn towers A tiny seed can fill a field with flowers.'

Winston Churchill

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing.
Winston Churchill
Image
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Image
Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.
Winston Churchill
Image
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Winston Churchill

Your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn.
Winston Churchill

You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not apologize for the takeover of the region by the Jews from the Palestinians in the same way I don't apologize for the takeover of America by the whites from the Red Indians or the takeover of Australia from the blacks. It is natural for a superior race to dominate an inferior one.

Some civil servants are neither servants nor civil.

One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.

The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.

I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.

When a new book appears one should read an old one.

There is only one answer to defeat and that is victory.

They feed the crocodile in the hope that he will eat them last.
Winston Churchill

There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained.
Winston Churchill

Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Winston Churchill

The Golcondas were considered incomparably the best team in Southern India ... [But] we defeated [them] by 9 goals to 3. On succeeding days we made short work of all other opponents, and established the record, never since broken, of winning a first-class tournament within fifty days of landing in India.

Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Winston Churchill
Image
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.
