More quotes by Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Winston Churchill
We do not covet anything from any nation except their respect.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
Fancy living in one of these streets, never seeing anything beautiful, never eating anything savoury, never saying anything clever!
Winston Churchill
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
Winston Churchill
Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
Winston Churchill
Art is to beauty what honor is to honesty.
Winston Churchill
... painting a picture is like fighting a battle and trying to paint a picture is, I suppose, like trying to fight a battle. It is, if anything, more exciting than fighting it successfully. But the principle is the same.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
We are all functioning at a small fraction of our capacity.
Winston Churchill
I let the argument rip healthily between the departments. This is a very good way to finding out the truth.
Winston Churchill
My tastes are simple. I like only the very best.
Winston Churchill
