More quotes by Winston Churchill
A pessimist sees problems in opportunities whereas an optimist sees opportunities in problems.
Winston Churchill
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Even fools are right sometimes.
Winston Churchill
The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.

This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.
Winston Churchill
Our dog chases people on a bike. We've had to take it off him.

Winston Churchill
There are few virtues that the Poles do not possess and there are few errors they have ever avoided.
Winston Churchill
Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits
Winston Churchill
It would be a great reform in politics if perception could be made to spread as easily and as rapidly as foolishness.
Winston Churchill
Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.
Winston Churchill
Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.
Winston Churchill
We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.
Winston Churchill
Wealth, taste and leisure can bring many things but they do not bring happiness.
Winston Churchill
