"Censure is often useful, praise is often..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“[The politician] is asked to stand, he wants to sit, and he is expected to lie.”

“It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.”

“The worst mistake that a statesman can make is to promise victory and to see it dashed, the hopes dashed.”

“It is impossible to think of a man of any actual force and originality, universally recognized as having those qualities, who spent his whole life appraising and describing the work of other men.”

“I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by his heroism, virtue, and honour. I think the best these men can do is not talk about themselves anymore.”

“A woman's pity, which is talkative, carries the sick person's bed to the public marketplace.”

“Praise little, dispraise less.”

“To praise great actions with sincerity may be said to be taking part in them.”

“Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.”
