The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
Winston Churchill
Image
The greatest advances in human civilization have come when we recovered what we had lost: when we learned the lessons of history.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everything trends towards catastrophe & collapse. I am interested, geared up & happy. Is it not horrible to be built like that?
Winston Churchill
Image
The acts we engage in for appeasment today, we will have to remedy at far greater cost and remorse tomorrow.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is easier to give directions than advice, and more agreeable to have the right to act, even in a limited sphere, than the privilege to talk at large.
Winston Churchill
Image
Politics is more dangerous than war, for in war you are only killed once.
Winston Churchill
Image
The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened not merely by rest, but by using other parts.
Winston Churchill

When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
Winston Churchill
Image
Do not criticize your government when out of the country. Never cease to do so when at home
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a curious fact about British Islanders, who hate drill and have not been invaded for nearly a thousand years, that as danger comes nearer and grows they become progressively less nervous when it is imminent the are fierce, when it is mortal they are fearless.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
Building slow destroyers ! One might as well breed slow race horses.
Winston Churchill
Image
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
Image
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
Winston Churchill
Image
Not to have an adequate air force in the present state of the world is to compromise the foundations of national freedom and independence.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have not made any arrogant, confident, boasting predictions at all. On the contrary, I have stuck hard to my blood, toil, tears and sweat, to which I have added muddle and mismanagement, and that, to some extend I must admit, is what you have got out of it.
Winston Churchill
Image
One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once 'The Unnecessary War'.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people.
Winston Churchill

There is in the act of preparing, the moment you start caring.
