Preposition: An enormously versatile part of grammar, as in 'What made you pick this book I didn't want to be read to out of up for?'

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

It may be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

If I had been an Italian I am...

If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Oh, what is the matter with p...

Oh, what is the matter with poor Puggy-Wug? Pet him and kiss him and give him a hug. Run and fetch him a suitable drug. Wrap him up tenderly all in a rug. That is the way to cure Puggy-Wug.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

A hopeful disposition is not the sole qualification to be a prophet.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

English literature is a glori...

English literature is a glorious inheritance which is open to all - there are no barriers, no coupons, and no restrictions. In the English language and in its great writers there are great riches and treasures, of which, of course, the Bible and Shakespeare stand along on the highest platform.

Don't give your sons money. G...

Don't give your sons money. Give them horses. Many a good son has been ruined through the acquisition of money but no good son has been ruined through the acquisition of horses. Unless they fell and broke their neck, which when taken at the gallop is a very good death to die.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

My ability to persuade my wif...

My ability to persuade my wife to marry me was quite my most brilliant achievement ... Of course, it would have been impossible for any ordinary man to have got through what I had to go through in peace and war without the devoted aid of what we call, in England, one's better half.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

These cruel, wanton, indiscri...

These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Most of the significant contr...

Most of the significant contributions that have been made to society have been made by people who were tired.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

We were not made by Nature to...

We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Bearing ourselves humbly befo...

Bearing ourselves humbly before God... we await undismayed the impending assault.... be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms, we shall tolerate no parlay; we may show mercy - we shall ask for none.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

For with primacy in power is ...

For with primacy in power is also joined an awe inspiring accountability to the future.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Indeed I do not think we should be justified in using any but the more sombre tones and colours while our people, our Empire, and indeed the whole English-speaking world are passing through a dark and deadly valley.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

When Iraq becomes strong enou...

When Iraq becomes strong enough in our opinion to stand alone, we shall be in a position to state that our task has been fulfilled, and that Iraq is an independent sovereign state. But this cannot be said while we are forced year after year to spend very large sums of money on helping the Iraqi government to defend itself and maintain order.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Russian may seem narrow-minded, impudent, or even stupid people, but can only pray for those who are against them.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

[My ideal of a good dinner] is to discuss good food, and, after this good food has been discussed, to discuss a good topic - with myself the chief conversationalist.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I wanted us to go to the Tories when we were strong...not in misfortune to be made an honest woman of.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk', to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly.
