Winston Churchill
Image
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
Image
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
Image
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.

Quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have found in my experience of war, that plans are useless, but planning is invaluable.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is not given to princes, statesmen and captains to pierce the mysteries of the future, and even the most penetrating gaze reaches only conclusions which, however seemingly vindicated at a given moment, are inexorably effaced by time.
Winston Churchill
Image
When they told me that by the year 2100 women would rule the world, my reply was 'Still?'
Winston Churchill
Image
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill

I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof.
