More quotes by Winston Churchill
I am weary of a task which is done and I hope I shall not shrink when the aftermath ends. My only wish is to live peacefully out the remaining years - if years they be.
Winston Churchill
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill
The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide.
Winston Churchill
I had a feeling once about mathematics - that I saw it all... but it was after dinner and I let it go.
Winston Churchill
There is no purpose in living where there is nothing to do.
Winston Churchill
Never give in, never! Be it concerning large things or small things, never, never, never!
Winston Churchill
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
I am not sure I should have dared to start but I am sure that I should not have dared to stop.
Winston Churchill
How often in life must one be content with what one can get!
Winston Churchill
Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
Winston Churchill
It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear about two of them nothing can be done, so it's no use worrying and two perhaps can be settled.
Winston Churchill
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
Winston Churchill
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Winston Churchill
The British people are good all through. You can test them as you would put a bucket into the sea and always find it salt.
Winston Churchill
The United States abd usually be reiled on to do the right thing, but only after they have tried all the other alternatives.
Winston Churchill
You can always rely on America to do the right thing -- once it has exhausted the alternatives.
Winston Churchill
All babies look like me. But then, I look like all babies.
Winston Churchill
Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
I was happy as a child with my toys in my nursery. I been happier every year since I became a man. But this interlude of school makes a somber grey patch upon the chart of my journey. It was a unending spell of worries that did not then seem petty, and of toil uncheered by fruition a time of discomfort, restriction and purposeless monotony.
Winston Churchill
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
