More quotes by Winston Churchill
Democracy is an awful way to run a country, but it's the best system we have.
Winston Churchill
Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
When I warned them [the French] that Britain would fight on alone whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided Cabinet, In three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken. Some chicken! Some neck!
Winston Churchill
Men and kings must be judged in the testing moments of their lives. Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Everyone can recognize history when it happens. Everyone can recognize history after is has happened but only the wise man knows at the moment what is vital and permanent, what is lasting and memorable.
Winston Churchill
Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are billed to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.
Winston Churchill
Praise the humanities, my boy. That'll make them think you're broadminded!
Winston Churchill
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
Writing is an adventure.
Winston Churchill
We are not meant to find peace in this world. The spirit of life cannot exist without effort. Destroy the rivalries of man and nations and you will have destroyed all that makes for betterment and progress on Earth.
Winston Churchill
The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
Winston Churchill
The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened not merely by rest, but by using other parts.
Winston Churchill
Quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts.
Winston Churchill
There is, therefore, wisdom in reserving one's decisions as long as possible and until all the facts and forces that will be potent at the moment are revealed.
Winston Churchill
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill
