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.

More quotes by Winston Churchill
The Russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people.
Winston Churchill
Success always demands a greater effort.
Winston Churchill
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
'Keep England White' is a good slogan.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.
Winston Churchill
Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.
Winston Churchill
I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly.
Winston Churchill
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.
Winston Churchill
The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is a policy of first importance to a public man.
Winston Churchill
The substitution of the internal combustion engine for the horse marked a very gloomy milestone in the progress of mankind.
Winston Churchill
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
Winston Churchill
