More quotes by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person it merely says something about our own need to be critical.
Winston Churchill
Do not criticize your government when out of the country. Never cease to do so when at home
Winston Churchill
Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.
Winston Churchill
It is a great mistake to suppose that thrift is caused only by fear it springs from hope as well as from fear where there is no hope, be sure there will be no thrift.
Winston Churchill
It is no use doing what you like you have got to like what you do.
