More quotes by Winston Churchill
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be for without victory, there is no survival.
Winston Churchill
The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there's no limit to the power it can generate.
Winston Churchill
I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.
Winston Churchill
The worst mistake that a statesman can make is to promise victory and to see it dashed, the hopes dashed.
Winston Churchill
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory !!
Winston Churchill
The British people are good all through. You can test them as you would put a bucket into the sea and always find it salt.

Winston Churchill
We have not journeyed all this way because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill
The United Nations was set up not to get us to heaven, but only to save us from hell.
Winston Churchill
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.
Winston Churchill
Hatred plays the same part in government as acid in chemistry.
Winston Churchill
We are all worms. However, I like to think I'm a glow worm
Winston Churchill
A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.
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
Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Winston Churchill
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
Winston Churchill
And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honour, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls round.
Winston Churchill
