More quotes by Winston Churchill
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Immense deposits of kimmeridge clay, containing the oil-bearing bands or seams, stretch across England from Dorsetshire to Lincolnshire. [An early political recognition of the native resource. The Geological Survey had identified the inflammable oil shale in reports since at least 1888.]
Winston Churchill
The people of Asia were slaves, because they had not learned how to pronounce the word 'no'.
Winston Churchill
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
Winston Churchill
I wonder whether any other generation has seen such astounding revolutions of data and values as those through which we have lived. Scarcely anything material or established which I was brought up to believe was permanent and vital, has lasted. Everything I was sure or taught to be sure was impossible, has happened.
Winston Churchill
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Winston Churchill
I cannot but think we have much to be thankful for, and more still to hope for in the future.
Winston Churchill
You must look at facts, because they look at you.
Winston Churchill
Do not turn the superior eye of critical passivity upon these efforts .... We must not be ambitious. We cannot aspire to masterpieces. We may content ourselves with a joy ride in a paint-box.
Winston Churchill
Do not let us speak of darker days, let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days-the greatest days our country has ever lived and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Sir, we must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic.
Winston Churchill
When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.
Winston Churchill
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
Any clever person can make plans for winning a war if he has no responsibility for carrying them out.
Winston Churchill
Do you know why the nose of the bull dog is sloped backwards? So it can keep on breathing without ever letting go.
Winston Churchill
Never, never, never give up.
Winston Churchill
Opening amenities are often opening inanities.
Winston Churchill
It is in the interest of the wage-earner to have many other alternatives open to him than service under one all-powerful employer called the State
Winston Churchill
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
