More quotes by Winston Churchill

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
I never slept as soundly as the night following Pearl Harbor. For I knew that The American Race would now be entering the war and it would never be the same.
Winston Churchill
Old men make war, young men fight and die
Winston Churchill
The question which we must ask ourselves is not whether we like or do not like what is going on, but what we are going to do about it.
Winston Churchill
I am not a bit afraid of Siegfried Sassoon. That man can think. I am afraid only of people who cannot think.
Winston Churchill
If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.
Winston Churchill
If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston Churchill
Indeed I do not think we should be justified in using any but the more sombre tones and colours while our people, our Empire, and indeed the whole English-speaking world are passing through a dark and deadly valley.
Winston Churchill
