More quotes by Winston Churchill
The United States stands at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future.
Winston Churchill
Unless some effective supranational government can be set up and brought quickly into action, the prospects of peace and human progress are dark and doubtful.
Winston Churchill
It is better to do something than to do nothing while waiting to do everything.
Winston Churchill
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Winston Churchill
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Bessie Braddock: Winston, you're drunk. Churchill: Bessie, you're ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
Winston Churchill
Nothing will bring American sympathy along with us so much as American blood shed in the field.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of socialism.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes under pressure.
Winston Churchill
Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
Winston Churchill
Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.
Winston Churchill
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
There must not be lacking in our leadership something of that spirit of the Austrian corporal who, when all had fallen into ruins around him, and when Germany seemed to have fallen into chaos, did not hesitate to march forth against the vast army of victorious nations and has already turned the tables decisively against them.
Winston Churchill
I know of no case where a man added to his dignity by standing on it.
Winston Churchill
Success always demands a greater effort.
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
