More quotes by Winston Churchill
Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.
Winston Churchill
A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.
Winston Churchill
I think it is the most important subject facing this country, but I cannot get any of my ministers to take any notice.
Winston Churchill
To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.
Winston Churchill
I'm too busy. I have no time for worry.
Winston Churchill
Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge
Winston Churchill
Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable.
Winston Churchill
The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide.
Winston Churchill
Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have made us what we are.
Winston Churchill
To improve is to change.
Winston Churchill
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the Air. The Fighters are our salvation . . . but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. . . . In no other way at present visible can we hope to overcome the immense military power of Germany.
Winston Churchill
Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.
Winston Churchill
We must be very careful not to assign this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations
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
One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong. It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
An efficient and a successful administration manifests itself equally in small as in great matters.
Winston Churchill
When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
Winston Churchill
We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.
Winston Churchill
Remember the story of the Spanish prisoner. For many years he was confined in a dungeon... One day it occurred to him to push the door of his cell. It was open and it had never been locked.
Winston Churchill
