The oldest habit in the world for resisting change is to complain that unless the remedy to the disease should be universally applied it should not be applied at all. But you must start somewhere.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
Even the most eminent persons are subject to the laws of gravity.
Winston Churchill
We are all worms. However, I like to think I'm a glow worm
Winston Churchill
The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
They feed the crocodile in the hope that he will eat them last.
Winston Churchill
If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.
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
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
Winston Churchill
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Winston Churchill
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.
Winston Churchill
If you recognize anyone it does not mean you like them.
Winston Churchill
The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.
Winston Churchill
If you put two economists xin a room, you get two opinions, unless one of them is Lord Keynes, in which case you get three opinions.
Winston Churchill
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Winston Churchill
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation.
Winston Churchill
Let us reconcile ourselves to the mysterious rhythm of our destinies, such as they must be in this world of space and time.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
It is wonderful how well men can keep secrets they have not been told.
Winston Churchill
A modest little person, with much to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.
Winston Churchill
