More quotes by Winston Churchill
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Winston Churchill
Do not let us speak of darker days, let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days-the greatest days our country has ever lived and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.
Winston Churchill
The stations of uncensored expression are closing down the lights are going out but there is still time for those to whom freedom and parliamentary government mean something, to consult together. Let me, then, speak in truth and earnestness while time remains.
Winston Churchill
I trust and believe that this College, this seed that we have sown, will grow to shelter and nurture generations who may add most notably to the strength and happiness of our people, and to the knowledge and peaceful progress of the world. 'The mighty oak from an acorn towers A tiny seed can fill a field with flowers.'
Winston Churchill
The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope.
Winston Churchill
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Never run away from anything. Never!
Winston Churchill
I have in my life concentrated more on self-expression than self-denial.
Winston Churchill
Golf. Trying to knock a tiny ball into an even smaller hole with implements ill suited to the purpose.
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
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all.
Winston Churchill
Don't argue about the difficulties. The difficulties will argue for themselves.
Winston Churchill
Only changes in mindsets can extend the frontiers of the possible.
Winston Churchill
The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.
Winston Churchill
The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.
Winston Churchill
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
Winston Churchill
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
Winston Churchill
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an ever smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose
Winston Churchill
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.
Winston Churchill
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
