More quotes by Winston Churchill
Those good at war aren't good at peace, and those good at peace aren't good at war.
Winston Churchill
In handing over the Government of India to these so-called political classes, we are handing over to men of straw, of whom, in a few years, no trace will remain.
Winston Churchill
It is not open to the cool bystander . . . to set himself up as an impartial judge of events which would never have occurred had he outstretched a helping hand in time.
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
[Should Britain fail, then the entire world would] sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister ... by the lights of perverted science.
Winston Churchill
When danger is far off we may think of our weakness when it is near we must not forget our strength.
Winston Churchill
We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.
Winston Churchill
Courage is the ability to go from failure to failure with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.
Winston Churchill
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
I have had to eat my own words many times, and I have found it a very nourishing diet.
Winston Churchill
My mother always seemed to me like a fairy princess: a radiant being possessed of limitless riches and power. She shone for me like the evening star. I loved her dearly.
Winston Churchill
If this is a blessing, it is certainly very well disguised.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Winston Churchill
Perfectionism spells paralysis.
Winston Churchill
I trust and believe that this College, this seed that we have sown, will grow to shelter and nurture generations who may add most notably to the strength and happiness of our people, and to the knowledge and peaceful progress of the world. 'The mighty oak from an acorn towers A tiny seed can fill a field with flowers.'
Winston Churchill
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.
Winston Churchill
Christopher Columbus was the first socialist: he didn't know where he was going, he didn?t know where he was? and he did it all at taxpayers expense.
Winston Churchill
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Winston Churchill
We would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
