We need to be strong in order to avoid war and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.

More quotes by Winston Churchill

When we run out of money, we have to start thinking.
Winston Churchill
Neville Chamberlain looked at foreign affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe.
Winston Churchill

The rhinoceros stood ... about five hundred yards away ... not a twentieth-century animal at all, but an odd, grim straggler from the Stone Age.
Winston Churchill
Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.
Winston Churchill
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Winston Churchill
I'm finished ... I'm done. What I want above all things is to take some active part in beating the Germans ... I'd go out to the Front at once.
Winston Churchill
The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending.
Winston Churchill
The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
Winston Churchill
I am not sure I should have dared to start but I am sure that I should not have dared to stop.
Winston Churchill
There is a treasure in the heart of every man if you can only find it
Winston Churchill
Success is never final.
Winston Churchill
And what a plan! This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever occurred.
Winston Churchill
I'm bored with it all. Before slipping into a coma. He died 9 days later.
Winston Churchill
A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
There is required for the composition of a great commander not only massive common sense and reasoning power, not only imagination, but also an element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten.
Winston Churchill
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
Winston Churchill
