Quotations from Winston Churchill:  Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.Winston Churchill It is not given to human beings, happily for them, for otherwise life would be intolerable, to foresee or to predict to any large extent the unfolding course of events.In one phase men seem to have been right, in another they seem to have been wrong. Then again, a few years later, when the perspective of time has lengthened, all stands in a different setting. There is a new proportion. There is another scale of values. History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. Winston Churchill To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war. June 26, 1954Winston Churchill Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.Winston Churchill We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.Winston Churchill 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. Winston Churchill I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.Winston Churchill Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.Winston Churchill A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.Winston Churchill ...Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on.Winston Churchill The empires of the future will be empires of the mind.Winston Churchill
