It is easier to give directions than advice, and more agreeable to have the right to act, even in a limited sphere, than the privilege to talk at large.

More quotes by 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
There is more blood than paint upon these hands. All those thousands of men killed. We thought it would be a little job, and so it might have been if it had begun in the right way.
Winston Churchill
The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Keep calm and carry on.
Winston Churchill
A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.
Winston Churchill
What is the true and original root of Dutch aversion to British rule? It is the abiding fear and hatred of the movement that seeks to place the native on a level with the white man ... the Kaffir is to be declared the brother of the European, to be constituted his legal equal, to be armed with political rights.
Winston Churchill
Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself.
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 essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.
Winston Churchill
Dear citizen, if you were my love, I'd stole your money!' Admin if you were my love, I would ask you for divorce and spousal support!
Winston Churchill
To meet Roosevelt with all his buoyant sparkle, his iridescence, was like opening a bottle of champagne.
Winston Churchill
You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.
Winston Churchill
The head cannot take in more than the seat can endure.
Winston Churchill
Renown awaits the commander who first restores artillery to its prime importance on the battlefield.
Winston Churchill
Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure and those whose work and pleasure are one.
Winston Churchill
I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.
Winston Churchill
The maxim of the British people is 'business as usual.'
Winston Churchill
Success and happiness spring from facing failure after failure with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Even the most eminent persons are subject to the laws of gravity.
Winston Churchill
I am not a bit afraid of Siegfried Sassoon. That man can think. I am afraid only of people who cannot think.
Winston Churchill
