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
Image
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
Image
Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
Image
Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.
Winston Churchill
Image
Writing ... it begins as an amusement, then it becomes a mistress, then a master, and finally a tyrant.
Winston Churchill
Image
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be for without victory, there is no survival.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
Winston Churchill
Image
'No comment' is a splendid expression. I am using it again and again.
Winston Churchill
Image
My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop.
Winston Churchill
Image
My greatest good fortune in a life of brilliant experiences has been to find you, and to lead my life with you. I don't feel far away from you out here at all. I feel very near in my heart and also I feel that the nearer I get to honour, the nearer I am to you.
Winston Churchill
Image
All dogs look up to you. All cats look down on you. Only the pig looks at you as an equal
Winston Churchill
Image
A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill
Image
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a good thing to stand away from the canvas from time to time and take a full view of the picture.
Winston Churchill
Image
The test of real character is what a man does when he is tired.
Winston Churchill
Image
You can always rely on America to do the right thing -- once it has exhausted the alternatives.
Winston Churchill

Preposition: An enormously versatile part of grammar, as in 'What made you pick this book I didn't want to be read to out of up for?'
Winston Churchill
Image
There is, therefore, wisdom in reserving one's decisions as long as possible and until all the facts and forces that will be potent at the moment are revealed.
Winston Churchill
Image
This movement among the Jews is not new... This world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing... It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century.
Winston Churchill

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
