More quotes by Winston Churchill
We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonalty. But we have our own dreams and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed.
Winston Churchill
I am sorry to have made such a long speech, but I did not have time to write a shorter one.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Winston Churchill
There is a good saying to the effect that when a new book appears one should read an old one. As as author I would not recommend too strict an adherence to this saying.
Winston Churchill
Never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter.
Winston Churchill
A nation that fails to honor its heroes, soon will have no heroes to honor.
Winston Churchill
With opportunity comes responsibility.
Winston Churchill
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
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Winston Churchill
Leadership is the intelligent use of power.
Winston Churchill
Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees...to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation.
Winston Churchill
