More quotes by Winston Churchill

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

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
We are shaping the world faster than we can change ourselves, and we are applying to the present the habits of the past.
Winston Churchill
We are weakened and we are tired, but we are not done yet.
Winston Churchill
You know, in war, you don't have to be nice. You only have to be right.
Winston Churchill
One ought to be just before one is generous
Winston Churchill
Little did we guess that what has been called the century of the common man would witness as its outstanding feature more common men killing each other with greater facilities than any other five centuries together in the history of the world.
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 may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
Winston Churchill
