More quotes by Winston Churchill
... I think it would be so much better for me to learn something which would be useful to me in the army, as well as affording me exercise and amusement.
Winston Churchill
We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.
Winston Churchill
If you don't take change by the hand, it will take you by the throat.
Winston Churchill
Tidiness is a virtue, symmetry is often a constituent of beauty.
Winston Churchill
He looks like a female llama who has been surprised in the bath.
Winston Churchill
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill
Do what you like, but like what you do.
Winston Churchill
The arts are essential to any complete national life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them. [...] Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the reverence and delight which are their due.
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 hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.
Winston Churchill
The United States is a land of free speech. Nowhere is speech freer - not even here where we sedulously cultivate it even in its most repulsive form.
Winston Churchill
I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form.
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
We are really doing our very best. There are no doubt many mistakes and shortcomings. A lot of things are done none too well. Some things that ought to be done have not yet been done...[But Britain's effort has] justly commanded the wonder and admiration of every friendly nation in the world.
Winston Churchill
Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.
Winston Churchill
The jury system has come to stand for all we mean by English justice. The scrutiny of 12 honest jurors provides defendants and plaintiffs alike a safeguard from arbitrary perversion of the law.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
Hatred plays the same part in government as acid in chemistry.
Winston Churchill
I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
Winston Churchill
Two nations divided by a common language.
Winston Churchill
