More quotes by Winston Churchill
I am in favor of deliberately spreading methodically prepared bacteria among people and animals -- mildew ... to destroy the harvests, anthrax to destroy horses and livestock, and the plague, in order to kill not only entire armies, but also the inhabitants of large regions.
Winston Churchill
The essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill
Success always demands a greater effort.
Winston Churchill
In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.
Winston Churchill
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
[My ideal of a good dinner] is to discuss good food, and, after this good food has been discussed, to discuss a good topic - with myself the chief conversationalist.
Winston Churchill
He spoke with more eloquence than wisdom.
Winston Churchill
The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.
Winston Churchill
I do think unpunctuality is a vile habit, and all my life I have tried to break myself of it.
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
The United Nations was set up not to get us to heaven, but only to save us from hell.
Winston Churchill
The English are loth to express their feelings, but in my stall in the choir I could feel the pent-up, passionate emotion, and also the fear of the congregation, not of death or wounds or material loss, but of defeat and the final ruin of Britain.
Winston Churchill
Tidiness is a virtue, symmetry is often a constituent of beauty.
Winston Churchill
Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman.
Winston Churchill
Personally I think that private property has a right to be defended. Our civilisation is built up on property, and can only be defended by private property.
Winston Churchill
You leave out God, and you substitute the devil.
Winston Churchill
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
Winston Churchill
We (The British) have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Winston Churchill
If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies, choking in his own blood upon the ground.
Winston Churchill
