A well noted statesman and orator, sir Winston Churchill was also a Nobel prize winner as a writer. He made a number of extraordinary remarks of which I made a small collection. One should find inspiration for every day in these immortal words.
- The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.
- If you are going through hell, keep going.
- I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
- However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
- The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
- A nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it.
- The price of greatness is responsibility.
- There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.
- The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, “If you were my husband I’d give you poison,” and he said, “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.”
- “I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend…. if you have one.” - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill. “Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second… if there is one.” - Winston Churchill, in response.

My favorite is:
“This is the kind of insubordination up with which I will not put.”
