I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do think unpunctuality is a vile habit, and all my life I have tried to break myself of it.

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
Image
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
Winston Churchill
Image
The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there's no limit to the power it can generate.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
Image
If we win, nobody will care. If we lose, there will be nobody to care.
Winston Churchill

Nothing should be done for spite's sake.
Winston Churchill
Image
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

The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative.
