More quotes by Winston Churchill
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.
Winston Churchill
There is no sphere of human thought in which it is easier to show superficial cleverness and the appearance of superior wisdom than in discussing questions of currency and exchange
Winston Churchill
Watch your character for your character is your destiny.
Winston Churchill
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.

There is nothing like oratory, it is a skill that can turn a commoner into a king.
Winston Churchill
It is no use dealing with illusions and make-believes. We must look at the facts. The world ... is too dangerous for anyone to be able to afford to nurse illusions. We must look at realities.
Winston Churchill
What a fool I have been!
Winston Churchill
Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common... Celebrate it every day.
Winston Churchill
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
Unless some effective supranational government can be set up and brought quickly into action, the prospects of peace and human progress are dark and doubtful.
Winston Churchill
If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another.
Winston Churchill
