More quotes by Winston Churchill
The old wars were decided by their episodes rather than by their tendencies. In this war, the tendencies are far more important than the episodes.
Winston Churchill
No idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered with a searching but at the same time a steady eye.
Winston Churchill
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
If you want me to speak for two minutes, it will take me three weeks of preparation. If you want me to speak for thirty minutes, it will take me a week to prepare. If you want me to speak for an hour, I am ready now.
Winston Churchill
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
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
When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.
Winston Churchill
All this contains much that is obviously true, and much that is relevant unfortunately, what is obviously true is not relevant, and what is relevant is not obviously true.
Winston Churchill
With the end of the Victorian era, we passed into what I feel I must call the terrible 20th century
Winston Churchill
All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.
Winston Churchill
It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.
Winston Churchill
Nature will not be admired by proxy.
Winston Churchill
Headmasters have powers at their disposal with which Prime ministers have never yet been invested.
Winston Churchill
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
Two nations divided by a common language.
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
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles others their principles for the sake of their party
Winston Churchill
Everyone threw the blame on me ... they nearly always do. I suppose ... they think I shall be able to bear it best.
Winston Churchill
If I had my way, I would write the word 'insure' over every door of every cottage and upon the blotting pad of every public man, because I am convinced that, for sacrifice that are conceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever.
Winston Churchill
I have had to eat my own words many times, and I have found it a very nourishing diet.
Winston Churchill
