Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman, soldier, and writer. A graduate of Sandhurst, he fought in India, the Sudan, and South Africa. In 1900 he was elected to Parliament. Churchill was the first lord of the admiralty (1911-1915) in World War I until disgraced by the failure of the Dardanelles campaign, which he had advocated. He afterwards served in numerous cabinet positions in the Liberal government of Lloyd George. A Conservative after 1924, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1924 to 1929; his revaluation of the pound was a component leading to the general strike of 1926. Not in office from 1929 to 1939, Churchill broadcast ignored warnings of the danger of Nazi Germany. In 1940, seven months after the outbreak of World War II, he succeeded Neville Chamberlain as prime minister. His rousing oratory, his vigor, and his refusal to make peace with Hitler were critical to sustaining British resistance from 1940 to 1942. Before the United States entrance’ into the war, he met President Franklin D. Roosevelt at sea for crucial talks. He twice addressed the American Congress, twice went to Moscow, and attended a series of international conferences, including the Yalta Conference. Following the postwar Labour victory in 1945, he became leader of the opposition. In 1951 he was once more elected prime minister; he was knighted in 1953 and retired in 1955. Winston Churchill was the author of many histories, biographies, and memoirs, and in 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.
Memorable Quotations from Winston Churchill edition by Jim Dell Reference eBooks
Being a devout Churchillian, I always regarded Winston Churchill as the ultimate wordsmith of the English language. His use of words is really without parallel and shows a thought provoking mind which is compassionate and in possession of humor. His observations contain common sense and make one want to shake one’s head in affirmation as to a simple observation which every human knows but does not know how to convey to others.This book compiled by Jim Dell is done with quotations in alphabetical order. Of course I have my favorites which I will list below:
1. You Sir are drunk! (As quoted of Member of Parliament Bessie Braddock) And in reply Winston stated “And you madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning.
2. This quote is one I never heard of before but is true and makes one think. “Christopher Columbus was the first socialist: he didn’t know where he was—and he did it all at taxpayers’ expense.”
3. “Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”
4. “I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”
5. “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
6. “I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.”
7. “I you are going through hell, keep going.”
8. “Never give in – never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
9. “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
10. “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
Great book for reading and reference for all to read. Good for any library!!

Memorable Quotations from Winston Churchill edition by Jim Dell Reference eBooks Reviews
This is an interesting book to browse through -- great for car pool lines, doctor office waits, etc. The man was a genius and had an exceptional way with words. This book is certainly worth adding to your digital library.
great reading
He's one of the greatest writers of the 19th & 20th,(he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature) centuries as well as an orator supreme.
He was the spine of Britain during WWII.
Tougher than a woodpeckers lips.
One of the most humorous and unforgettable "quotation producers" ever. Such a fun read!
Quotes, often misquoted, with no context. Quick snippets made me feel like I was reading a bathroom book. There must not have been an editor, because many quotes are repeated (with a word changed here or there; hence the misquote). The words have much less power without their context.
This man, Mr. Churchill, is my Hero & Mentor and has been, for many, many, years. However, he must share these titles and everything I have ever felt for the man,with, Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt...Both are men I have looked up to for years and I am constantly researching their books, for historical facts as well as their positions on WWII issues. There is far too much to write about both men but this is about his quotations. He is, was and will always be, a brilliant man. You, too, can find this out by reading his quotations book. It is easy reading but very enjoyable.
Winston Churchill is one of my favorite people in history. I read everything I can get my hands on about him. I had not realized there were so many quotes by Churchill until I read this book. Here are a couple of my favorites. "The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may divide it, but in the end; there it is". As a lover of books I really enjoyed this one. "Writing a book is an adventure to begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling it out to the public". And lastly, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life". There are so many great quotes in the book it will keep you constant occupied with it. Now if I can just work some of the quotes into my everyday speaking and writing I will sound well read. I read this as an e-book on my app on my Ipad.
