More quotes by Winston Churchill
The reason for having diplomatic relations is not to confer a compliment, but to secure a convenience. [On diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China]
Winston Churchill
Air power may either end war or end civilization.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
Writing a long and substantial book is like having a friend and companion at your side, to whom you can always turn for comfort and amusement, and whose society becomes more attractive as a new and widening field of interest is lighted in the mind.
Winston Churchill
Never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
The English know how to make the best of things. Their so-called muddling through is simply skill at dealing with the inevitable.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible. Our qualities and deeds must burn and glow through the gloom oEurope until they become the veritable beacon oits salvation.
Winston Churchill
Success always demands a greater effort.
Winston Churchill
The monarchy is so extraordinarily useful. When Britain wins a battle she shouts, God save the Queen when she loses, she votes down the prime minister.
Winston Churchill
My ability to persuade my wife to marry me was quite my most brilliant achievement ... Of course, it would have been impossible for any ordinary man to have got through what I had to go through in peace and war without the devoted aid of what we call, in England, one's better half.
Winston Churchill
I have had to eat my own words many times, and I have found it a very nourishing diet.
Winston Churchill
The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.
Winston Churchill
We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.
Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
Winston Churchill
There comes into the life of every man a task for which he and he alone is uniquely suited. What a shame if that moment finds him either unwilling or unprepared for that which would become his finest hour.
Winston Churchill
If you recognize anyone it does not mean you like them.
Winston Churchill
The true guide of life is to do what is right.
Winston Churchill
One might as well legalise sodomy as recognise the Bolsheviks.
