Winston Churchill

Champagne is the wine of civilization and the oil of government.

Winston Churchill

Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.

Winston Churchill

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

Cold steel and discipline and the slight capital surplus necessary to move and organise armies constituted the sole defences.

Winston Churchill

Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey; hardship our garment; constancy and valor our only shield. We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible.

Winston Churchill

Death is only an incident, and not the most important one which happens to us in the state of being … look forward, feel free, rejoice in life, cherish the children, guard our memory. God bless you.

Winston Churchill

Decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.

Winston Churchill

Democracy is an awful way to run a country, but it’s the best system we have.

Winston Churchill

Democracy is more vindictive than cabinets, the wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings.

Winston Churchill

Democracy is the best form of the worst type of government.
