Broadly
speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best
of all.
Winston Churchill |
Every
day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet
there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending,
ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end
of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds
to the joy and glory of the climb.

From
now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up
with which I will not put.
Winston Churchill |
History
will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Winston Churchill |
I
cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors. I rejoice with
the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.
Winston Churchill |
I
have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities
he excites among his opponents.
Winston Churchill |
It
is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny
can only be grasped one link at a time.
Winston Churchill |
Men
occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves
up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
Winston Churchill |
Never
hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in
the room.
Winston Churchill |
Never,
never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that
anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides
and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to
war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is
no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable
and uncontrollable events.
