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.

More quotes by 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
To meet Roosevelt with all his buoyant sparkle, his iridescence, was like opening a bottle of champagne.
Winston Churchill
He is like a female llama surprised in her bath.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Politics is more dangerous than war, for in war you are only killed once.
Winston Churchill
My tastes are simple. I like only the very best.
Winston Churchill
Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one.
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
Woe betide the leaders now perched on their dizzy pinnacles of triumph if they cast away at the conference table what the soldiers had won on a hundred bloodsoaked battlefields.
Winston Churchill
No sky is heavy if the heart be light
Winston Churchill
There is no working middle course in wartime.
Winston Churchill
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Winston Churchill
I have worked very hard with Nehru. I told him he should be the light of Asia, to show all those millions how they can shine out, instead of accepting the darkness of Communism.
Winston Churchill
