Well, dinner would have been splendid... if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess.

Here is a law which is above the King and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a general charter is the great work of Magna Carta and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it
Winston Churchill
Image
When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
Image
I will not pretend that if I had to choose between communism and Nazism I would choose communism.
Winston Churchill
Image
So long as I am acting from duty and conviction, I am indifferent to taunts and jeers. I think they will probably do me more good than harm.
Winston Churchill
Image
The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
Winston Churchill

If Europe were once united in the sharing of its common inheritance there would be no limit to the happiness, the prosperity, and the glory which its three or four million people would enjoy.

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

Winston Churchill
Image
Personally I think that private property has a right to be defended. Our civilisation is built up on property, and can only be defended by private property.
Winston Churchill
Image
My only consolation for the failure of the Dardanelles was that God wished things to be prolonged in order to sicken mankind of war, and that therefore He had interfered with a project that would have brought the war to a speedier conclusion.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill
Image
The definition of courage is going from defeat to defeat with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Image
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.
Winston Churchill
Image
We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof.
Winston Churchill
Image
Elderly people and those in authority cannot always be relied upon to take enlightened and comprehending views of what they call the indiscretions of youth.
Winston Churchill
Image
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter
Winston Churchill
Image
The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.
