Winston Churchill quotes

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.”
