More quotes by Winston Churchill
Building slow destroyers ! One might as well breed slow race horses.
Winston Churchill
If you want me to speak for two minutes, it will take me three weeks of preparation. If you want me to speak for thirty minutes, it will take me a week to prepare. If you want me to speak for an hour, I am ready now.
Winston Churchill
Everyone can recognize history when it happens. Everyone can recognize history after is has happened but only the wise man knows at the moment what is vital and permanent, what is lasting and memorable.
Winston Churchill
In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.
Winston Churchill
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I expect you will find that change is the best kind of rest.
Winston Churchill

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
Opening amenities are often opening inanities.
Winston Churchill
The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation. Unfortunately, she does know how to speak.
Winston Churchill
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.
Winston Churchill
I am not a bit afraid of Siegfried Sassoon. That man can think. I am afraid only of people who cannot think.
Winston Churchill
It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.
Winston Churchill
[Magna Carta provided] a system of checks and balances which would accord the monarchy its necessary strength, but would prevent its perversion by a tyrant or a fool.
Winston Churchill
Schools have not necessarily much to do with education...they are mainly institutions of control where certain basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.
Winston Churchill
