More quotes by Winston Churchill
India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.
Winston Churchill
Go into the sunshine and be happy with what you see.
Winston Churchill
How I hated schools, and what a life of anxiety I lived there. I counted the hours to the end of every term, when I should return home.
Winston Churchill
Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer.
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.
Winston Churchill
If a woman has It, she doesn't need anything else but if she doesn't have It, it doesn't matter what else she has.
Winston Churchill
One does not leave a convivial party before closing time.
Winston Churchill
The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Some civil servants are neither servants nor civil.
Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
Winston Churchill
Talking death seriously is one of the tragedies of youth
Winston Churchill
Politics is like waking up in the morning. You never know whose head you'll find on the pillow.
Winston Churchill
There are two kinds of success-initial and ultimate.
Winston Churchill
Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.
Winston Churchill
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
Success is often nothing more than moving from one failure to another with undiminished enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut.
Winston Churchill
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles others their principles for the sake of their party
Winston Churchill
In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.
Winston Churchill
