More quotes by Winston Churchill
There are two kinds of success-initial and ultimate.
Winston Churchill
An old battleax of a woman said to Winston Churchill, If you were my husband I would put poison in your tea. Churchill's response, Ma'am if you were my wife I would drink it.
Winston Churchill
But who in war will not have his laugh amid the skulls?
Winston Churchill
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
Winston Churchill
There is no working middle course in wartime.
Winston Churchill
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Winston Churchill
You know, in war, you don't have to be nice. You only have to be right.
Winston Churchill
Never, never, 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. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
I feel devoutly thankful to have been born fond of writing.
Winston Churchill
The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.
Winston Churchill
Without ships, we cannot live.
Winston Churchill
Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
Winston Churchill
It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don't believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it.
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
To meet Roosevelt with all his buoyant sparkle, his iridescence, was like opening a bottle of champagne.
Winston Churchill
Everybody has always underrated the Russians. They keep their own secrets alike from foe and friends.
Winston Churchill
The jury system has come to stand for all we mean by English justice. The scrutiny of 12 honest jurors provides defendants and plaintiffs alike a safeguard from arbitrary perversion of the law.
Winston Churchill
A hopeful disposition is not the sole qualification to be a prophet.
Winston Churchill
Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.
Winston Churchill
