It is remarkable that Lord Esher should be so much astray...We must conclude that an uncontrollable fondness for fiction forbade him to forsake it for fact. Such constancy is a defect in an historian.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.
Winston Churchill
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
The most formidable people in the world, and now the most dangerous, people who... lay down the doctrine that every frontier must be the starting out point for invasion.
Winston Churchill
Twice in my lifetime the long arm of destiny has reached across the oceans and involved the entire life and manhood of the United States in a deadly struggle.There was no use in saying We don't want it we won
Winston Churchill
Sunshine is my quest.
Winston Churchill
I liked wine, both red and white, and especially Champagne and on very special occasions I could even drink a small glass of brandy.
Winston Churchill
Soviet Union foreign policy is a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma, and the key is Russian nationalism.
Winston Churchill
There is no greater mistake than to suppose that platitudes, smooth words, timid policies, offer today a path to safety.
Winston Churchill
Bessie Braddock: Winston, you're drunk. Churchill: Bessie, you're ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober.
Winston Churchill
One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong. It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
It is no use doing what you like you have got to like what you do.
Winston Churchill
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated we should probably make another set of mistakes.
Winston Churchill
A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.
Winston Churchill
One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who have only opinions.
Winston Churchill
Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
Winston Churchill
Please put the ladybug outside without harming her. (to his butler)
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Russian may seem narrow-minded, impudent, or even stupid people, but can only pray for those who are against them.
Winston Churchill
The maxim of the British people is 'business as usual.'
Winston Churchill
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.
Winston Churchill
