Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. Winston Churchill
All of these quotes are from Winston Churchill. Please enjoy!
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which never happened.
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

Wow, I never knew he said those things. I think I was under the illusion they were from Mark Twain. Those are good quotes and I am glad you posted those--I will keep those in my file.
