More quotes by Winston Churchill
In all the twelve years I was at school no one ever succeeded in making me write a Latin verse or learn any Greek except the alphabet.
Winston Churchill
Here Churchill repeats with approval a statement he had first made in January, 1930 at a meeting at the Cannon Street Hotel. Sooner or later you will have to crush Gandhi and the Indian Congress and all they stand for.
Winston Churchill
I have not always been wrong. History will bear me out, particularly as I shall write that history myself.
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
I wanted us to go to the Tories when we were strong...not in misfortune to be made an honest woman of.
Winston Churchill
Science bestowed immense new powers on man, and at the same time, created conditions which were largely beyond his comprehension.
Winston Churchill
In the past we have had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea.
Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
Winston Churchill
Everyone threw the blame on me ... they nearly always do. I suppose ... they think I shall be able to bear it best.
Winston Churchill
More than 80 per cent of the British casualties of the Great War were English. More than 80 per cent of the taxation is paid by the English taxpayers. We are entitled to mention these facts, and to draw authority and courage from them.
Winston Churchill
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
Life is a test and this world a place of trial. Always the problems - or it may be the same problem - will be presented to every generation in different forms.
Winston Churchill
Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees...to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation.
Winston Churchill
Mr. Chamberlain loves the working man, he loves to see him work.
Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
Winston Churchill
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill
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
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
Winston Churchill
Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.
Winston Churchill
