More quotes by Winston Churchill
We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.
Winston Churchill
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself.
Winston Churchill
I know of no case where a man added to his dignity by standing on it.
Winston Churchill
The loyalties which center upon number one are enormous. If he trips, he must be sustained. If he make mistakes, they must be covered. If he sleeps, he must not be wantonly disturbed. If he is no good, he must be pole-axed.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
The head cannot take in more than the seat can endure.

Winston Churchill
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
Winston Churchill
Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.
Winston Churchill
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all.
Winston Churchill
There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
Winston Churchill
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.
Winston Churchill
To improve is to change.
Winston Churchill
