More quotes by Winston Churchill
The true guide of life is to do what is right.
Winston Churchill
Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Winston Churchill
There is no purpose in living where there is nothing to do.
Winston Churchill
Bearing ourselves humbly before God... we await undismayed the impending assault.... be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms, we shall tolerate no parlay we may show mercy - we shall ask for none.
Winston Churchill
Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is a fateful fatalistic apathy.
Winston Churchill
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Advertising mourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production.
Winston Churchill
In Great Britain, governments often change their policies without changing their men. In France, they usually change their men without changing their policy.
Winston Churchill
At the depths of that dusty soul there is nothing but abject surrender.
Winston Churchill
Why should there not be a European group which could give a sense of enlarged patriotism and common citizenship to the distracted peoples of this turbulent and mighty continent? And why should it not take its rightful place with other great groupings and help to shape the onward destinies of men?
Winston Churchill
Our free trade plan is quite simple. We say that every [citizen] shall have the right to buy whatever he wants, wherever he wants, at his own good pleasure, without restriction or discouragement from the state.
Winston Churchill
Plans are worthless. Planning is priceless.
Winston Churchill
The flags of the Confederate States of America were very important and a matter of great pride to those citizens living in the Confederacy. They are also a matter of great pride for their descendants as part of their heritage and history.
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
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.
Winston Churchill
Anyone who is not a liberal in his youth has no heart. Anyone who remains so as he matures has no brain!
Winston Churchill
Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.
Winston Churchill
The substance of the eminent Socialist gentlemen's speech is that making a profit is a sin. It is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss!
Winston Churchill
