CHURCHILL: We’ve shared some quotes lately from entertaining folks from the past. While reading about World War II, we were fascinated by Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in World War II. We were moved to share some of Churchill’s impactful words.

On greatness: “The price of greatness is responsibility.”

On friendship: “There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies and that is fighting without them.

History: “Everyone can recognize history when it happens. Everyone can recognize history after it has happened; but only the wise man knows at the moment what is vital and permanent, what is lasting and memorable.”

Security: “There is not much collective security in a flock of sheep on the way to the butcher.”

Future: “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.”

Praise: “Censure is often useful, praise often deceitful.”

Pleasing others: “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile — hoping it will eat him last.”

Zeal: “A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”

Destiny: “It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.”

Democracy: “Democracy is the worst form of government except all others.”

Giving: “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

God: “I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”

Adversity: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

Nations: “The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are often no longer strong.”
