More quotes by Winston Churchill
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Winston Churchill
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
It happens that once we learn a thing, the motivation to keep it up grows and expands further as well. If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
Sir, we must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic.
Winston Churchill
The most important thing about education is appetite.
Winston Churchill
The Golcondas were considered incomparably the best team in Southern India ... [But] we defeated [them] by 9 goals to 3. On succeeding days we made short work of all other opponents, and established the record, never since broken, of winning a first-class tournament within fifty days of landing in India.
Winston Churchill
Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Bearing ourselves humbly before God... we await undismayed the impending assault.... be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms, we shall tolerate no parlay we may show mercy - we shall ask for none.
Winston Churchill
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
If you put two economists xin a room, you get two opinions, unless one of them is Lord Keynes, in which case you get three opinions.
Winston Churchill
Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.
Winston Churchill
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Winston Churchill
The worst mistake that a statesman can make is to promise victory and to see it dashed, the hopes dashed.
Winston Churchill
Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures.
Winston Churchill
I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all.
Winston Churchill
If you are going through hell just keep going
Winston Churchill
The old wars were decided by their episodes rather than by their tendencies. In this war, the tendencies are far more important than the episodes.
