More quotes by Winston Churchill
At the depths of that dusty soul there is nothing but abject surrender.
Winston Churchill
We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
Winston Churchill
I have always noticed that whenever a radical takes to Imperialism, he catches it in a very acute form.
Winston Churchill
I am sorry to have made such a long speech, but I did not have time to write a shorter one.
Winston Churchill
...every offensive lost its force as it proceeded. It was like throwing a bucket of water over the floor. It first rushed forward, then soaked forward, and finally stopped altogether until another bucket could be brought.
Winston Churchill
Luckily ... there were Zulus and Afghans, also the Dervishes in the Soudan. Some of these might, if they were well-disposed, 'put up a show' some day.
Winston Churchill
The influence exercised over the human mind by apt analogies is and has always been immense. Whether they translate an established truth into simple language or whether they adventurously aspire to reveal the unknown, they are among the most formidable weapons of the rhetorician.
Winston Churchill
[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.
Winston Churchill
I do not presume to explain how to paint, but only how to get enjoyment.
Winston Churchill
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Winston Churchill
You must put your head into the lion's mouth if the performance is to be a success.
Winston Churchill
Mr. Churchill you're drunk! Mr. Churchill: And you, Lady Astor, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning. You, however, will still be ugly.
Winston Churchill
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of society is not natural to mankind.
Winston Churchill
We are waiting for the long-promised invasion. So are the fishes.
Winston Churchill
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.
Winston Churchill
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
Winston Churchill
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Winston Churchill
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
