More quotes by Winston Churchill
The United States is a land of free speech. Nowhere is speech freer - not even here where we sedulously cultivate it even in its most repulsive form.
Winston Churchill
I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated we should probably make another set of mistakes.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
I had no idea of the enormous and unquestionably helpful part that humbug plays in the social life of great peoples dwelling in a state of democratic freedom.
Winston Churchill
Golf. Trying to knock a tiny ball into an even smaller hole with implements ill suited to the purpose.
Winston Churchill
Renown awaits the commander who first restores artillery to its prime importance on the battlefield.
Winston Churchill
Well, dinner would have been splendid... if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess.
Winston Churchill
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Winston Churchill
When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
Winston Churchill
What is adequacy? Adequacy is no standard at all.
Winston Churchill
