Quote

Don't give your sons money. Give them horses. Many a good son has been ruined through the acquisition of money but no good son has been ruined through the acquisition of horses. Unless they fell and broke their neck, which when taken at the gallop is a very good death to die.

Winston Churchill

Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is all true, or it ought to be and more and better besides.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
I have always noticed that whenever a radical takes to Imperialism, he catches it in a very acute form.
Winston Churchill

Quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts.
Winston Churchill
Image
You know, in war, you don't have to be nice. You only have to be right.
Winston Churchill
Image
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
Image
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
Winston Churchill
Image
No crime is so great as daring to excel.
Winston Churchill
Image
Hasty work and premature decisions may lead to penalties out of all proportion to the issues immediately involved.
Winston Churchill
Image
I neither want it [brandy] nor need it, but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.
Winston Churchill
Image
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Winston Churchill
Image
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Winston Churchill
Image
Success comes from continuing to strive, fail and learn without losing enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Image
The further back I look, the further forward I can see.
Winston Churchill
Image
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
Winston Churchill
Image
History unfolds itself by strange and unpredictable paths. We have little control over the future and none at all over the past.
Winston Churchill
Image
If you cannot read all your books...fondle them---peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.
Winston Churchill
Image
Let us reconcile ourselves to the mysterious rhythm of our destinies, such as they must be in this world of space and time.
Winston Churchill
Image
A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill
