More quotes by Winston Churchill
No crime is so great as daring to excel.
Winston Churchill
When I'm in office I always keep Members of Parliament talking. If they stopped they might start thinking.
Winston Churchill
The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
If we could get out of this jam by giving up Malta and Gibraltar and some African colonies I would jump at it. But the only safe way is to convince Hitler that he cannot beat us.
Winston Churchill
Success is the ability to continue to move through total disaster.
Winston Churchill
It is better to do the wrong thing that to do nothing.
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
Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
We are all worms. However, I like to think I'm a glow worm
Winston Churchill
I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.
Winston Churchill
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
It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
Winston Churchill
In war, truth is often the first casualty.
Winston Churchill
Hess or no Hess, I'm going to watch the Marx Brothers.
Winston Churchill
There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.
Winston Churchill
Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful.
Winston Churchill
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Winston Churchill
Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures.
Winston Churchill
