Quote

The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.

Writing ... it begins as an amusement, then it becomes a mistress, then a master, and finally a tyrant.
Winston Churchill
Image
The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery.
Winston Churchill
Image
Singapore could only be taken after a siege by an army of at least 50,000 men. It is not considered possible that the Japanese would embark on such a mad enterprise.
Winston Churchill
Image
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
Winston Churchill
Image
Our future is in our hands. Our lives are what we choose to make them.
Winston Churchill
Image
Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.
Winston Churchill
Image
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. 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
Image
Personally I think that private property has a right to be defended. Our civilisation is built up on property, and can only be defended by private property.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
My ability to persuade my wife to marry me was quite my most brilliant achievement ... Of course, it would have been impossible for any ordinary man to have got through what I had to go through in peace and war without the devoted aid of what we call, in England, one's better half.
Winston Churchill
Image
We must build a kind of United States of Europe.
Winston Churchill
Image
If the present tries to sit in judgment of the past, it will lose the future.
Winston Churchill
Image
Thus I got into my bones the essential structure of the ordinary British sentence, which is a noble thing.
Winston Churchill
Image
I love learning, but hate being taught.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
Image
The influence exercised over the human mind by apt analogies is and has always been immense. Whether they translate an established truth into simple language or whether they adventurously aspire to reveal the unknown, they are among the most formidable weapons of the rhetorician.
Winston Churchill
Image
Air power can either paralyze the enemy's military action or compel him to devote to the defense of his bases and communications a share of his straitened resources far greater that what we need in the attack.
Winston Churchill
Image
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.
