More quotes by Winston Churchill
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
Winston Churchill
How fortunate it was for the world that when these great trials came upon it there was a generation that terror could not conquer and brutal violence could not enslave.
Winston Churchill
No matter how enmeshed a commander becomes in the elaboration of his own thoughts, it is sometimes necessary to take the enemy into account.
Winston Churchill
Perfecting and selling your writing is a lifelong task. If you are a persistent writer, you can expect your abilities to improve with time. Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
And a pamphlet called Pick me up There is no genuine hatred against Herr Hitler.
Winston Churchill
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.
Winston Churchill
It is remarkable that Lord Esher should be so much astray...We must conclude that an uncontrollable fondness for fiction forbade him to forsake it for fact. Such constancy is a defect in an historian.
Winston Churchill
Personally I think that private property has a right to be defended. Our civilisation is built up on property, and can only be defended by private property.
Winston Churchill
They [the Labour Party] are not fit to manage a whelk stall.
Winston Churchill
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Winston Churchill
We are really doing our very best. There are no doubt many mistakes and shortcomings. A lot of things are done none too well. Some things that ought to be done have not yet been done...[But Britain's effort has] justly commanded the wonder and admiration of every friendly nation in the world.
Winston Churchill
There is nothing government can give you that it hasn't taken from you in the first place.
Winston Churchill
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill
If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.
Winston Churchill
I am writing in one of the Keepers' Lodges to wh I have returned after stalking & where I am waiting for the Prince of Wales. Quite the best day's sport I have had in this country - 4 good stags & home early!
Winston Churchill
I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
Winston Churchill
[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.
Winston Churchill
The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong.
Winston Churchill
You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.
Winston Churchill
