More quotes by Winston Churchill
We shape our homes and then our homes shape us.
Winston Churchill
We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonalty. But we have our own dreams and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed.
Winston Churchill
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
These, Gentlemen, are the opinions upon which I base my facts.
Winston Churchill
Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.
Winston Churchill
History is written by the victors.
Winston Churchill
Today I may way before an awestruck world I am still master of my fate. I am still captain of my soul.
Winston Churchill
Listing your personal milestones is like storing a pocketful of sunshine for a rainy day. Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.
Winston Churchill
If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.
Winston Churchill
More than 80 per cent of the British casualties of the Great War were English. More than 80 per cent of the taxation is paid by the English taxpayers. We are entitled to mention these facts, and to draw authority and courage from them.
Winston Churchill
The maxim, Nothing prevails but perfection, may be spelled PARALYSIS.
Winston Churchill
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
Winston Churchill
Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
A nation which has forgotten its past can have no future.
Winston Churchill
We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
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
There is no better exercise than to study and devour a picture, and then, without looking at it again, to attempt the next day to reproduce it.
Winston Churchill
The privilege of a university education is a great one the more widely it is extended the better for any country.
Winston Churchill
It is not given to princes, statesmen and captains to pierce the mysteries of the future, and even the most penetrating gaze reaches only conclusions which, however seemingly vindicated at a given moment, are inexorably effaced by time.
Winston Churchill
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
