Civilisation will not last, fr...

Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

What does all this stuff about...

What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Is the only lesson of history ...

Is the only lesson of history to be that mankind is unteachable?

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

The world looks with some awe ...

The world looks with some awe upon a man who appears unconcernedly indifferent to home, money, comfort, rank, or even power and fame. The world feels not without a certain apprehension, that here is someone outside its jurisdiction; someone before whom its allurements may be spread in vain; some one strangely enfranchised, untamed, untrammelled by convention, moving independent of the ordinary currents of human action.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

A little mouse of thought appe...

A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. They make frantic efforts to bar our thoughts and words; they are afraid of the workings of the human mind.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Always remember, however sure ...

Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

When you have got a thing wher...

When you have got a thing where you want, it is a good thing to leave it where it is.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

The object of Parliament is to substitute argument for fisticuffs.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

If you destroy a free market you create a black market.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

[Magna Carta provided] 'a system of checks and balances which would accord the monarchy its necessary strength, but would prevent its perversion by a tyrant or a fool.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

The unnatural and increasingly...

The unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the feeble-minded and insane classes, coupled as it is with steady restriction among all the thrifty, energetic and superior stocks constitutes a national and race danger which is impossible to exaggerate. I feel that the source from which the stream of madness is fed should be cut off and sealed before another year has passed.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Lenin was sent into Russia by ...

Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I accumulated in those years s...

I accumulated in those years so fine a surplus in the Book of Observance that I have been drawing confidently upon it ever since.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I had been brought up and trai...

I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

Bearing ourselves humbly befor...

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

The most dangerous moment of t...

The most dangerous moment of the War, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese Fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there. The capture of Ceylon, the consequent control of the Indian Ocean, and the possibility at the same time of a German conquest of Egypt would have closed the ring and the future would have been black.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

To achieve the extirpation of ...

To achieve the extirpation of Nazi tyranny there are no lengths of violence to which we will not go.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

I want no criticism of America...

I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.

Winston Churchill 1582 quotes

My ability to persuade my wife...

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.
