More quotes by Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is won without enthusiasm.
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
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
Everybody has always underrated the Russians. They keep their own secrets alike from foe and friends.
Winston Churchill
I am weary of a task which is done and I hope I shall not shrink when the aftermath ends. My only wish is to live peacefully out the remaining years - if years they be.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
One ought to be just before one is generous
Winston Churchill
They had bombed London, whether on purpose or not, and the British people and London especially should know that we could hit back. It would be good for the morale of us all.
Winston Churchill
The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the occupied territories, and a portent of the fate awaiting the Nazi tyranny.
Winston Churchill
Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits
Winston Churchill
Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself.
Winston Churchill
Far be it from me to paint a rosy picture of the future...But I should be failing in my duty if, on the other side, I were not to convey the true impression, that this great nation is getting into its war stride.
Winston Churchill
No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.
Winston Churchill
In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather argue against a hundred idiots, than have one agree with me.
Winston Churchill
Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Winston Churchill
[The Balkans] produce more history than they can consume.
