What I admire most about Winston Churchill is his wit. His quotes clearly display that quality of his. He has a sense of sentences and knows how to present his points. The following are some of his quotes (my favorite highlighted in orange);
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Do not criticize your government when out of the country. Never cease to do so when at home.
I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is ready for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter. (On his 75th birthday)
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
The English never draw a line without blurring it.
A fanatic is one who cannot change his mind and won't change the subject.
Golf is a game who's aim it is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.
The monarchy is so extraordinarily useful. When Britain wins a battle she shouts, 'God save the Queen'; when she loses, she votes down the prime minister.
I never worry about action, but only about inaction.
It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
The truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it; ignorance may deride it; malice may distort it, but there it is.
