More quotes by Winston Churchill
Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
The element of the unexpected and the unforeseeable is what gives some of its relish to life and saves us from falling into the mechanical thralldom of the logicians.
Winston Churchill
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Success in life is the ability to move from one mistake to another without loosing enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure.
Winston Churchill
I let the argument rip healthily between the departments. This is a very good way to finding out the truth.
Winston Churchill
All the great things are simple.
Winston Churchill
For with primacy in power is also joined an awe inspiring accountability to the future.
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
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
Winston Churchill
Is it possible to get another key? I think I've left mine in the room.
Winston Churchill
...the high roads of the future will be clear, not only for us but for all, not only for our time but for a century to come.
Winston Churchill
I would tell myself that I was about to address the largest mass assembly of idiots ever gathered in the history of mankind.
Winston Churchill
When they told me that by the year 2100 women would rule the world, my reply was 'Still?'
Winston Churchill
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.
Winston Churchill
If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.
Winston Churchill
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all.
Winston Churchill
