The indomitable Winston Churchill In His Own Words

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.”

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”

“Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.”

“I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”

“For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use to be anything else.”

“Personally, I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”

“A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.”

― “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

“The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”

―“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
