Winston Churchill quotes about
The only guide to man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor.
We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire...give us the tools and we will finish the job.
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace; Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease; Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule to never criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
Without execution, thinking is mere idleness.
The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the occupied territories, and a portent of the fate awaiting the Nazi tyranny.
All I want is compliance with my wishes, after reasonable discussion.
Never give in, never give in, never give in.
Out of the depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind.
Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are billed to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.
With opportunity comes responsibility.
Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.
If you simply take up the attitude of defending a mistake, there will no hope of improvement.
