"I have had to eat my own..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.”

“Never stand so high upon a principle that you cannot lower it to suit the circumstances.”

“Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.”

“I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.”

“I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.”

“Indeed, moderation is my middle name (though I do not often use it in signing legal documents)”

“I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.”

“I do not need to know all things. I remind myself that it is sufficient that I know what I know and know that without believing that I will always know what I know or that what I know will always be true.”

“I transmit but do not create. I place my trust in the teachings of antiquity.”
