Wisdom from Winston Churchill



"What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place to live in after we are gone?"

"People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and to defy clamor are not fit to be (Prime) Ministers in times of stress."

"Things do not get better by being left alone. Unless they are adjusted, they explode with a shattering detonation."

"A lie is halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on"



"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often."

"There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human society, are created, strengthened and maintained."

"In my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you also understand the most amusing."

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind, and wont change the subject."



"We are all worms, but I intend to be a glowworm."

"One should be just before one is generous."

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

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
