Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
Image
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
Image
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
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
My mother always seemed to me like a fairy princess: a radiant being possessed of limitless riches and power. She shone for me like the evening star. I loved her dearly.
Winston Churchill
Image
That long (Canadian) frontier from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, guarded only by neighbourly respect and honourable obligations, as an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world.
Winston Churchill
Image
The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide.
Winston Churchill
Image
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper-no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point.
Winston Churchill
Image
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Image
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!
Winston Churchill
Image
I am not invested with dictatorial powers. If I were, I should be quite ready to dictate.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall fight in parking lots, we shall fight in empty fields and on wide streets, we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
Image
He has the gift of compressing the largest amount of words into the smallest amount of thoughts.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am in favor of deliberately spreading methodically prepared bacteria among people and animals -- mildew ... to destroy the harvests, anthrax to destroy horses and livestock, and the plague, in order to kill not only entire armies, but also the inhabitants of large regions.
