More quotes by Winston Churchill
Who's in or out, who moves the grand machine, Nor stirs my curiosity, or spleen Secrets of state no more I wish to know Than secret movements of a puppet-show Let but the puppets move, I've my desire, Unseen the hand which guides the master wire.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Winston Churchill
Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
Winston Churchill
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill
An iron curtain has descended over Europe.
Winston Churchill
Logic is a poor guide compared with custom.
Winston Churchill
Peace will not be preserved by pious sentiments.
Winston Churchill
The rhinoceros stood ... about five hundred yards away ... not a twentieth-century animal at all, but an odd, grim straggler from the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
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
It is all true, or it ought to be and more and better besides.
Winston Churchill
For the first 25 years of my life, I wanted freedom. For the next 25 years, I wanted order. For the next 25 years, I realized that order is freedom.
Winston Churchill
We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.
Winston Churchill
Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
Winston Churchill
The United Nations was set up not to get us to heaven, but only to save us from hell.
Winston Churchill
If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston Churchill
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
Mr. Gladstone read Homer for fun, which I thought served him right.
Winston Churchill
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation.
Winston Churchill
English literature is a glorious inheritance which is open to all - there are no barriers, no coupons, and no restrictions. In the English language and in its great writers there are great riches and treasures, of which, of course, the Bible and Shakespeare stand along on the highest platform.
Winston Churchill
