More quotes by Winston Churchill
In war, the truth must be guarded by a body guard of lies.
Winston Churchill
In defeat, unbeatable in victor, unbearable
Winston Churchill
The Russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people.
Winston Churchill
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.
Winston Churchill
Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.
Winston Churchill
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
[Much] as war attracts me and fascinates my mind with its tremendous situations, I feel more deeply every year . . . what vile and wicked folly and barbarism it all is.
Winston Churchill
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Winston Churchill
Americans are a wonderful people: They will always do the right thing--after exhausting every other possible alternative.
Winston Churchill
One of the most important signs of the existence of a democracy is that when there is a knock at the door at 5 in the morning, one is completely certain that it is the milkman.
Winston Churchill
We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end.
Winston Churchill
We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty. [Referring to the theory that over-production caused the Depression]
Winston Churchill
To secure your historical standing, be sure you are the first to write about it.
Winston Churchill
Democracy means that if the doorbell rings in the early hours, it is likely to be the milkman.
Winston Churchill
Immense deposits of kimmeridge clay, containing the oil-bearing bands or seams, stretch across England from Dorsetshire to Lincolnshire. [An early political recognition of the native resource. The Geological Survey had identified the inflammable oil shale in reports since at least 1888.]
Winston Churchill
I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.
Winston Churchill
It is all true, or it ought to be and more and better besides.
Winston Churchill
The old wars were decided by their episodes rather than by their tendencies. In this war, the tendencies are far more important than the episodes.
Winston Churchill
We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.
Winston Churchill
