Christopher Columbus was the first socialist: he didn't know where he was going, he didn?t know where he was? and he did it all at taxpayers expense.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
It is always more easy to discover and proclaim general principles than it is to apply them.
Winston Churchill
These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.
Winston Churchill
The Government of India had imprisoned Mr. Gandhi and they had been sitting outside his cell door begging him to help them out of their difficulties.
Winston Churchill
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
It happens that once we learn a thing, the motivation to keep it up grows and expands further as well. If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.
Winston Churchill
Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Winston Churchill
There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.
Winston Churchill
There is scarcely anything more important in the government of men than the exact - I will ever say pedantic - observance of the regular forms by which the guilt or innocence of accused persons is determined.
Winston Churchill
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Winston Churchill
It is better to do the wrong thing that to do nothing.
Winston Churchill
When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.
Winston Churchill
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
I did not like the man [Niels Bohr] when you showed him to me, with his hair all overhis head.
Winston Churchill
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
Winston Churchill
There is more blood than paint upon these hands. All those thousands of men killed. We thought it would be a little job, and so it might have been if it had begun in the right way.
Winston Churchill
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!
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
We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.
Winston Churchill
