More quotes by Winston Churchill
The essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill
The loyalties which center upon number one are enormous. If he trips, he must be sustained. If he make mistakes, they must be covered. If he sleeps, he must not be wantonly disturbed. If he is no good, he must be pole-axed.
Winston Churchill
We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.
Winston Churchill
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
Winston Churchill
I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
Winston Churchill
I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment - and yet - I can't help it - I enjoy every second of it.
Winston Churchill
Manifest destiny was on the march, and it was unfortunate that Mexico stood in the path.
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
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
Winston Churchill
It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.
Winston Churchill
If you want to discover new oceans, you must first have the courage to leave shore.
Winston Churchill
When you have got a thing where you want, it is a good thing to leave it where it is.
Winston Churchill
We would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Winston Churchill
Strategy is all very well, but it pays to give thought from time to time to the results.
Winston Churchill
Of all the branches of men in the forces there is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils than the submariners.
Winston Churchill
I do not resent criticism, even when for the sake of emphasis it parts for the time with reality.
Winston Churchill
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
