More quotes by Winston Churchill
He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Winston Churchill
A nation that fails to honor its heroes, soon will have no heroes to honor.
Winston Churchill
It happens that once we learn a thing, the motivation to keep it up grows and expands further as well. If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
The painter wanders and loiters contentedly from place to place, always on the lookout for some brilliant butterfly of a picture which can be caught and carried safely home.
Winston Churchill
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.

Winston Churchill
Still, it is the primary right of men to die and kill for the land they live in, and to punish with exceptional severity all members of their own race who have warmed their hands at the invaders' hearth.
Winston Churchill
Politics is more dangerous than war, for in war you are only killed once.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I cannot but think we have much to be thankful for, and more still to hope for in the future.
Winston Churchill
Nobody wants to intervene in Russian affairs. Russia is a very large country, a very old country, a very disagreeable country inhabited by immense numbers of ignorant people largely possessed of lethal weapons and in a state of extreme disorder. Also Russia is a long way off.
Winston Churchill
I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.
Winston Churchill
It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing.
Winston Churchill
Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself.
Winston Churchill
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
