Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
But when you walk through yonder gate," Churchill said, pointing toward the Middle Tower at the end of the causeway, which was visible only as a crenellated cutout in the orange sky, "you'll find yourself in a London you no longer know. The changes wrought by the Fire were nothing. In that London, loyalty and allegiance are subtle and fluxional. 'Tis a chessboard with not only black and white pieces, but others as well, in diverse shades. You're a Bishop, and I'm a Knight, I can tell that much by our shapes, and the changes we have wrought on the board; but by fire-light 'Tis difficult to make out your true shade. ~ Neal Stephenson
Churchill quotes by Neal Stephenson
I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination. People say, If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better. I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish. ~ Dean Acheson
Churchill quotes by Dean Acheson
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm. ~ Charles Churchill
Churchill quotes by Charles Churchill
England a fortune-telling host, As num'rous as the stars, could boast; Matrons, who toss the cup, and see The grounds of Fate in grounds of tea ... ~ Charles Churchill
Churchill quotes by Charles Churchill
If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
There are two kinds of success-initial and ultimate. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
I never could make out what those damned dots meant. ~ Lord Randolph Churchill
Churchill quotes by Lord Randolph Churchill
The price of greatness is responsibilty. ~ Winston Churchill James
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill James
To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation ... ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
My only consolation for the failure of the Dardanelles was that God wished things to be prolonged in order to sicken mankind of war, and that therefore He had interfered with a project that would have brought the war to a speedier conclusion. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
They had bombed London, whether on purpose or not, and the British people and London especially should know that we could hit back. It would be good for the morale of us all. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
When I look round to see how we can win the war I see that there is only one sure path ... and that is absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland. We must be able to overwhelm them by this means, without which I do not see a way through. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
You have to run risks. There are no certainties in war. There is a precipice on either side of you - a precipice of caution and a precipice of over-daring. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
No one can say how far Herr Hitler's empire will extend before this war is over, but I have no doubt it will pass away perhaps more swiftly than Napoleon's empire and without its glory. The British spirit and temperment, bred in freedom, will prove more enduring and resilient than the most efficient mechanical discipline.
Winston Churchill ~ Michael Tappenden
Churchill quotes by Michael Tappenden
I have never said that people 'should' engage in armed attacks on the United States, but that such attacks are a natural and unavoidable consequence of unlawful U.S. policy. ~ Ward Churchill
Churchill quotes by Ward Churchill
One can usually put one's thoughts better in one's own words. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Enemy submarines are to be called U-Boats. The term submarine is to be reserved for Allied under water vessels. U-Boats are those dastardly villains who sink our ships, while submarines are those gallant and noble craft which sink theirs. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Who all in raptures their own works rehearse, And drawl out measur'd prose, which they call verse. ~ Charles Churchill

Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Watch your thoughts, they become your words. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
If the U.S. foreign policy results in massive death and destruction abroad, they cannot feign innocence when some of that destruction is returned. On 9/11/2001, Americans noticed that payback can be a real motherfucker. ~ Ward Churchill
Churchill quotes by Ward Churchill
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form. ~ Winston Churchill

Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war. ~ Winston Churchill

Watching him from a distance for ten years doesn't make you an expert, you know!"
"Sleeping with him for two months doesn't make you one, either," she said, cool as a cucumber.
Churchill recoiled with a wide-eyed "oh no she DIDN'T" expression that might have been funny under different circumstances. ~ Jane Seville

When the Carlton Club, A Conservative Party bastion in London, was badly damaged by bombs and Churchill remarked that he was surprised that no one had been killed, a Labor Party official replied, "The devil looks after his own. ~ Philip Seib

(Winston Churchill) ~ Winston S. Churchill

Nature, through all her works, in great degree,
Borrows a blessing from variety.
Music itself her needful aid requires
To rouse the soul, and wake our dying fires. ~ Charles Churchill
Churchill quotes by Charles Churchill
The soul of freedom is deathless; it cannot, and will not perish. ~ Winston Churchill

Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Enough of satire; in less harden'd times
Great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes.
I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave,
Who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave;
Whose souls have felt more terrible alarms
From her one line, than from a world in arms. ~ Charles Churchill

Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
See appendix A for a proof that Winston Churchill was a carrot. ~ Charles Seife
Churchill quotes by Charles Seife
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 S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
When Jennie, mother of Winston Churchill invited playwright George Bernard Shaw to lunch, he telegraphed: "Certainly not. What have I done to provoke such an attack on my well-known habits?" She replied, "Know nothing of your habits; hope they are better than your manners." ~ Anne Sebba
Churchill quotes by Anne Sebba
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things! ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
The era of procrastination ... is coming to a close ... we are entering a period of consequences - Winston Churchill (warning about the danger of appeasement ~ Al Gore
Churchill quotes by Al Gore
"I have not made any arrogant, confident, boasting predictions at all. On the contrary, I have stuck hard to my "blood, toil, tears and sweat," to which I have added muddle and mismanagement, and that, to some extend I must admit, is what you have got out of it." ~ Winston Churchill

Churchill quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill

Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill used to say that we, Americans, try every other option before we finally do the right thing. After everything else is exhausted we eventually do the right thing and I think that's true for Congress as well. And it's important for Americans to remember that politics has always been messy. ~ Barack Obama
Churchill quotes by Barack Obama
The arabs are a backward people who eat nothing but camel dung. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
For with primacy in power is also joined an awe inspiring accountability to the future. ~ Winston Churchill

Which takes not solid virtue for its ground. ~ Charles Churchill

Churchill quotes by Nabil N. Jamal
Time is one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain friends. One may lose and regain money. Opportunity, once spurned, may come again. But the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
It cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Some of my cousins who had the great advantage of University education used to tease me with arguments to prove that nothing has any existence except what we think of it. The whole creation is but a dream; all phenomena are imaginary. You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more variegated your universe. When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist. These amusing mental acrobatics are all right to play with. They are perfectly harmless and perfectly useless. I warn my younger readers only to treat them as a game. The metaphysicians will have the last word and defy you to disprove their absurd propositions. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Thus, then, on the night of the tenth of May, at the outset of this mighty battle, I acquired the chief power in the State, which henceforth I wielded in ever-growing measure for five years and three months of world war, at the end of which time, all our enemies having surrendered unconditionally or being about to do so, I was immediately dismissed by the British electorate from all further conduct of their affairs. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Don't interrupt me while I'm interrupting. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
And not only that, Mr Stalin. I have been in China for the purpose of making war against Mao Tse-tung, before I went to Iran and prevented an attempt to assassinate Churchill.'
'Churchill? That fat pig!' Stalin shouted.
Stalin recovered for a moment before downing a whole glass of vodka. Allan watched enviously. He too would like to have his glass filled, but didn't think it was the right moment for such a request. ~ Jonas Jonasson
Churchill quotes by Jonas Jonasson
The most frightful of all spectacles is the strength of the civilization without its mercy. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honour, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls round. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second ... if there is one. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
When we look back on all the perils through which we have passed ... why should we fear for our future? ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
War, which used to be cruel and magnificent has now become cruel and squalid. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the
inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Churchill strikes a note in my life because my father worked on Mulberry Harbour, which was the code name for the temporary concrete harbours which were towed across the Channel to make the D-day landings in France possible. ~ Ridley Scott
Churchill quotes by Ridley Scott
The further back I look, the further forward I can see. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy it hurts ... ~ Ward Churchill
Churchill quotes by Ward Churchill
The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
Science bestowed immense new powers on man, and at the same time, created conditions which were largely beyond his comprehension. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
It is a fine game to play - the game of politics - and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging. ~ Winston Churchill
Churchill quotes by Winston Churchill
A short, glorious life in service of a greater good - say, the life of the Spartans at Thermopylae, or the pilots in the Battle of Britain, of whom Winston Churchill said 'Never have so many owed so much to so few,' - that is worth praising. But for glory alone? I think not. ~ Tim O'Reilly
Churchill quotes by Tim O'Reilly
We should demonstrate that in war, under Churchill and Lloyd George, and in peace, Britain always was, already is, and can continue to be a leader. ~ Gordon Brown
Churchill quotes by Gordon Brown
All babies look like me.
But then, I look like all babies. ~ Winston Churchill
