More quotes by Winston Churchill
One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards.
Winston Churchill
Don't deliver an essay with so many points. No one can absorb it. Just say one thing... Of course, you can say the point in many different ways over and over again with different illustrations.
Winston Churchill
The maxim of the British people is 'business as usual.'
Winston Churchill
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.
Winston Churchill
Go into the sunshine and be happy with what you see.
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 must be very careful not to assign this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations
Winston Churchill
You create your own universe as you go along.
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
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state.
Winston Churchill
Hasty work and premature decisions may lead to penalties out of all proportion to the issues immediately involved.
Winston Churchill
It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of socialism.
Winston Churchill
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston Churchill
Everything trends towards catastrophe & collapse. I am interested, geared up & happy. Is it not horrible to be built like that?
Winston Churchill
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
Winston Churchill
A modest little person, with much to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
If you mean to profit, learn to please.
Winston Churchill
The only way a man can remain consistent amid changing circumstances is to change with them while preserving the same dominating purpose.
Winston Churchill
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Winston Churchill
