More quotes by Winston Churchill
Most of the significant contributions that have been made to society have been made by people who were tired.
Winston Churchill
The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending.
Winston Churchill
I like a man who grins when he fights.
Winston Churchill
There is scarcely anything more important in the government of men than the exact - I will ever say pedantic - observance of the regular forms by which the guilt or innocence of accused persons is determined.
Winston Churchill
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Winston Churchill
Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions.
Winston Churchill
You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
You can always rely on America to do the right thing -- once it has exhausted the alternatives.
Winston Churchill
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
Winston Churchill
Never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter.
Winston Churchill
If the British Empire is fated to pass from life into history, we must hope it will not be by the slow process of dispersion and decay, but in some supreme exertion for freedom, for right and for truth.
Winston Churchill
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
Winston Churchill
How I hated this school, and what a life of anxiety I lived there for more than two years.
Winston Churchill
Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Winston Churchill
There is no greater mistake than to suppose that platitudes, smooth words, timid policies, offer today a path to safety.
Winston Churchill
Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.
Winston Churchill
