More quotes by Winston Churchill
Ethics evolve naturally, and we trample upon them with laws created by reason and experience.
Winston Churchill
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston Churchill
There are two kinds of success-initial and ultimate.
Winston Churchill
Nowadays we are assailed by a chorus of horrid threats. The Nazi Government exudes through every neutral State inside information of the frightful vengeance they are going to wreak upon us, and they also bawl it around the world by their leather-lunged propaganda machine. If words could kill, we should be dead already.
Winston Churchill
Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne knowing him was like drinking it.
Winston Churchill
Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
Winston Churchill
It is a good thing to stand away from the canvas from time to time and take a full view of the picture.
Winston Churchill
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril...It did not take the form of flaring battles and glittering achievements, it manifested itself through statistics, diagrams, and curves unknown to the nation, incomprehensible to the public.
Winston Churchill
You must look at facts, because they look at you.
Winston Churchill
I like a man who grins when he fights.
Winston Churchill
I have always had a curious nature I enjoy learning, but I dislike being taught.
Winston Churchill
All wisdom is not new wisdom.
Winston Churchill
There is no sphere of human thought in which it is easier to show superficial cleverness and the appearance of superior wisdom than in discussing questions of currency and exchange
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
Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.
Winston Churchill
Hess or no Hess, I'm going to watch the Marx Brothers.
Winston Churchill
We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
We have taken a grave and hazardous decision to sustain the Greeks and try to make a Balkan Front.
Winston Churchill
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Winston Churchill
Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king. He is an independent force in the world.
Winston Churchill
