There comes into the life of every man a task for which he and he alone is uniquely suited. What a shame if that moment finds him either unwilling or unprepared for that which would become his finest hour.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly.
Winston Churchill
I hope, sir, that I will shoot your picture on your hundredth birthday. I don't see why not, young man. You look reasonably fit and healthy.
Winston Churchill
I drink and smoke and I am two hundred percent fit.
Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
Winston Churchill
I was on the whole considerably discouraged by my school days... It is not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the very beginning of the race.
Winston Churchill
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.
Winston Churchill
When they told me that by the year 2100 women would rule the world, my reply was 'Still?'
Winston Churchill
Here Churchill repeats with approval a statement he had first made in January, 1930 at a meeting at the Cannon Street Hotel. Sooner or later you will have to crush Gandhi and the Indian Congress and all they stand for.
Winston Churchill
People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
Winston Churchill
No two on earth in all things can agree. All have some daring singularity.
Winston Churchill
Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by the victories achieved under their direction than by the political results which flowed from them. Judged by that standard, I am not sure that I shall be held to have done very well.
Winston Churchill
Dead birds don't fall out of their nests.
Winston Churchill
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
And what a plan! This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever occurred.
Winston Churchill
When we run out of money, we have to start thinking.
Winston Churchill
I'm going to make a long speech because I've not had the time to prepare a short one.
Winston Churchill
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
When Iraq becomes strong enough in our opinion to stand alone, we shall be in a position to state that our task has been fulfilled, and that Iraq is an independent sovereign state. But this cannot be said while we are forced year after year to spend very large sums of money on helping the Iraqi government to defend itself and maintain order.
Winston Churchill
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Winston Churchill
Never give in, never! Be it concerning large things or small things, never, never, never!
Winston Churchill
