Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.

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
There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.
Winston Churchill
When I find a ladybug I ask the butler to take it outside instead of killing it.
Winston Churchill
When the war of the giants is over the wars of the pygmies will begin.
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
Good and great are seldom in the same man.
Winston Churchill
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Winston Churchill
What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
It has not fallen to your lot to command great armies. You had to create them, organize them and inspire them.
Winston Churchill
Logic is a poor guide compared with custom.
Winston Churchill
There is no purpose in living where there is nothing to do.
Winston Churchill
When we run out of money, we have to start thinking.
Winston Churchill
Men and kings must be judged in the testing moments of their lives. Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Winston Churchill
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society.
Winston Churchill
We have not journeyed all this way because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Winston Churchill
Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it.
Winston Churchill
Far be it from me to paint a rosy picture of the future...But I should be failing in my duty if, on the other side, I were not to convey the true impression, that this great nation is getting into its war stride.
Winston Churchill
There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
