More quotes by Winston Churchill
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill
We (The British) have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.

Winston Churchill
Any idiot can see something wrong. But can you see what is right?
Winston Churchill
The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.
Winston Churchill
When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.
Winston Churchill
An old battleax of a woman said to Winston Churchill, If you were my husband I would put poison in your tea. Churchill's response, Ma'am if you were my wife I would drink it.
Winston Churchill
Atlee is a very modest man. And with reason.
Winston Churchill
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
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
The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship.
Winston Churchill
If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.
Winston Churchill
Say what you have to say and the first time you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending - sit down.
Winston Churchill
A sheep in sheep's clothing.
