Winston Churchill quotes
-
Sir Winston Churchill was probably one of the more colourful statesmen of all time when it comes to quotes. Let's share some of them:
'Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.'
'Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.'
'History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.'
'I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.'
'In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet. '
And my personal favourite, when some MPs chastised him for calling for support to Stalin when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union:
'If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.'
