The
British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only
people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be
told the worst.

I
have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
Winston Churchill
Speech to House of Commons, May 1940
|
Many
forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this
world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect
or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the
worst form of government except all those other forms that have
been tried from time to time.
Winston Churchill |
[The
Government] go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided,
resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity,
all-powerful to be impotent.
Winston Churchill |
It
is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
Winston Churchill
My Early Life |
A
pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist
sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill |
I
am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for
the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Winston Churchill
On eve of his 75th birthday |
I
am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours, was
asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied,
'Verify your quotations.'
Winston Churchill |
I
cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle
wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Winston Churchill |
We
shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither
the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance
and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will
finish the job.
