Churchill Quotations

'Foyle's War' made me realise that Churchill actually had questionable morals; his decisions meant that good people died. It must have weighed heavily on his soul, but he never let his personal demons get in the way of what was best for our country.

And what always struck me about that war period was how even Churchill had to talk socialism to keep up people's morale.

You have to remember that although Gandhi and Churchill only met physically once, their paths crossed again and crossed again all over the globe, from London and South Africa and India and back to London. In fact, I discovered that during the Boer War in 1899 they literally passed yards from each other on the battlefield.

Churchill knew the importance of peace, and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice, of course. He stressed strategy, but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty, justice and mercy.

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.

A short, glorious life in service of a greater good - say, the life of the Spartans at Thermopylae, or the pilots in the Battle of Britain, of whom Winston Churchill said 'Never have so many owed so much to so few,' - that is worth praising. But for glory alone? I think not.

It's so easy to use tired, shopworn figures of speech. I love using long, fancy words but have learned - mostly from writing my biography of Winston Churchill - that short, strong words work better. I am ever-vigilant against the passive and against jargon, both of which are so insidious.

One of the marvelous things about Churchill is that whatever he was doing, whether fighting or arguing or despairing or bouncing about full of energy, jokes are never far away.

On rare occasions, Dad used to reminisce about when he met Eisenhower and how Churchill would pop in, in the late hours of the evening or night, carrying a cigar, when he'd obviously had a good dinner.

When I am right, I get angry. Churchill gets angry when he is wrong. So we were often angry at each other.

My goal is to make it back to the state meet again. I also want to finish high in the conference, but the Western Lakes is very strong this year. Livonia Churchill will be good again and Walled Lake Central didn't graduate anyone and they were sixth in the state last year. I expect Northville and Livonia Stevenson to be strong, too.

We're looking at factory distribution. We think it's going to afford us the possibility of bringing in quality industrial that Churchill County needs.

I am disappointed for him. Maybe the writing was on the wall when Peter Richards was getting in ahead of him in the Churchill Cup this summer.

What (Winston) Churchill did in wartime, Margaret Thatcher did in peacetime.

He was getting more horses and more clients, and he was winning races. He had a good Churchill meet, and things were really picking up for him. It's really a shame.

He could never find a spot to drop in after breaking from the outside but I don't think it was a disadvantage. Churchill was very deep and the other horses had worked out over it. I just think he ran out of training in those last 50 yards.

If the German people lay down their weapons, the Soviets, according to the agreement between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, would occupy all of East and Southeast Europe along with the greater part of the Reich. An iron curtain would fall over this enormous territory controlled by the Soviet Union, behind which nations would be slaughtered.

Hoffman is right. It's much harder to get away with dirty little secrets like Ward Churchill - who apparently gamed the CU system for years - in the era of the blogosphere, when facts (not rumors) can be instantly reported. If I had simply published rumors, the story would never have caught on like it did.

He's doing great. It's great to see him not only love Kentucky but he seems to love that Churchill surface. But we're excited to be here this weekend and look forward to it.

Pat Day is not only a great jockey and outstanding athlete, he is one of our community's most respected and beloved citizens and a wonderful role model. Few people wear the label of 'legend' as comfortably as Pat and Churchill Downs is delighted to offer this opportunity for our community to say 'thank you' for all that he has given us through the years. We look forward to joining Pat's family, fans and friends from throughout our community and the country in this celebration of his incredible career on 'Pat's Day' at Churchill Downs.

Our new era at Churchill Downs got off to a spectacular start last year with a record-smashing Kentucky Derby Week and we look forward to welcoming our fans back for another exciting spring meet. That Derby Week momentum carried on through a terrific spring meet in which fans got to know and love our new facilities. Our staff is working hard to present those fans not only with the finest racing facilities in America, but to provide unparalleled guest service as they enjoy the strongest and most competitive daily racing program in the country.

joining the society is a great way to continue learning about Churchill and further hone skills that can be learned from him.

I think it would be silly to not have a chat. He fits our criteria. He's just captained a grand final-winning side, he just won the Clive Churchill medal, he's been on a Kangaroo tour, he's a north Queenslander and he's played at our club before.

It is a joy each year to see the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs through the eyes of talented young students.

It gets more like Churchill ( Downs ) all the time.

Winston Churchill pointed out another attribute of good rhetoric: it is sincere. You must yourself really be against the Germans buzz-bombing London before you can persuade the English people it is a rotten notion.

You can get something really really fabulous. I just tasted the Pol Roger Winston Churchill 1998 and my god, it's so delicious. And if you want to have a special celebration, you know, that's the way to go if money is no object.

We still have some work to do, but we're getting there, ... There are quite a few good teams in our league this year, so it should be interesting. Livonia Stevenson, obviously, will be up there along with Northville, which has some pretty nice talent coming back. They have quality and depth. Canton should be good again and Livonia Churchill will be improved.

We shortened her up at Churchill with this race in mind. We'll start thinking long distances again, but for now, we're just going to regroup before we get back to Kentucky.

The powerful emotional connection between Roosevelt and Churchill and how they confronted tyranny and terror is an incredibly contemporary story that yields important lessons for leaders today on a personal, political, and diplomatic level.

It would be inaccurate to say that Churchill and I conversed. Like Gladstone speaking to Victoria, he addressed me as though I were a one-man House of Commons. It was superb.

The Ruffed Padanga of Borneo and Rotherham spreads out his feathers in his courtship dance and imitates Winston Churchill and Tommy Cooper on one leg. The padanga is dying out because the female padanga doesn't take it too seriously.

We've never won it before. We're having one of our best seasons and it was nice to see that we finished ahead of both Churchill and Plymouth, two teams that beat us in the Western Lakes (Activities Association) Relays.

Nowhere in the world would they put me on the dais next to Churchill to sing Hey-Yoya.

As an independent hotel, The Churchill relies on its reputation and personal service to fulfill the high expectations of its guests. Jeanine's knowledge of the Washington, DC business community coupled with her vast sales and management experience provide ideal leadership for delivering on our guests' expectations while supporting our excellent sales and marketing team.

Roosevelt had a double, Churchill had a double, Stalin had a double, even Washington had a double.

This is the defining moment for this horse. She's got to prove herself against open company. That race at Bay Meadows was much easier. The owners' goal is to make it to the Kentucky Oaks (at Churchill Downs on May 5), and this is one more proving ground to see if she is worthy.

I'm actually kind of surprised Churchill took on a sponsor like that, to be honest with you. Just because of tradition. It seems like Churchill's built around tradition.

I'm just really excited that Churchill Downs would choose to honor me,

I knew Churchill would have momentum. But we needed this game to get ready for the playoffs. We're ready.

I love history, and Churchill is one of my favorite people to study. He's a fascinating, fascinating man.

Instead of being fired, perhaps he should be studied and examined, much as one might probe the victim of a once-rare psychiatric disorder that has become rampant. Ward Churchill might be more valuable to the opponents of the academic left employed than unemployed. Above all, he can serve as a living window into the intellectual, moral, and political bankruptcy of the left.

Climate change is analogous to Lincoln and slavery or Churchill and Nazism: it's not the kind of thing where you can compromise.

Churchill for all his love of the present hour, his unquenchable appetite for new knowledge, his sense of the technological possibilities of our time, and the restless roaming of his fancy in considering how they might be most imaginatively applied, despite his enthusiasm for Basic English, or the siren suit which so upset his hosts in Moscow - despite all this, Churchill remains a European of the nineteenth century.

Churchill strikes a note in my life because my father worked on Mulberry Harbour, which was the code name for the temporary concrete harbours which were towed across the Channel to make the D-day landings in France possible.

Churchill wrote his own speeches. When a leader does that, he becomes emotionally invested with his utterances. If Churchill had had a speech writer in 1940, Britain would be speaking German today.

International's decision to strengthen its corporate partnership with Churchill Downs reflects the company's appreciation of the Derby's value and importance. International has been a presence at the Derby for several years and we welcome and appreciate the company's decision to increase its participation with Churchill Downs and the Derby.

The Kentucky Derby is one of the world's most exciting sports events and International's decision to strengthen its corporate partnership with Churchill Downs reflects the company's appreciation of the Derby's value and importance. International has been a presence at the Derby for several years and we welcome and appreciate the company's decision to increase its participation.

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him, huh? Who made that up, Winston Churchill ?

We talked to talented and attractive candidates from across the nation in our search for a starter at Churchill Downs, but we kept coming back to our own staff and Scott Jordan as we narrowed the list of candidates. Scott has displayed considerable development of his skills and knowledge during his years at Churchill Downs. He has earned the trust of our horsemen and displayed a willingness to continue to grow and develop new skills and techniques?traits that we think will make him an exceptional starter at our track.

He's in his stall in Churchill Downs. We walked him here this morning before he left. ... They said he unloaded good.

The logistician is forever on a quest for the lowest-cost solution to get the goods from point to point. So it could be that for a wider variety of freight Churchill might be that solution.

You are drunk Sir Winston, you are disgustingly drunk. 'Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober.

The behavior of the crowd at Churchill Downs is like 100,000 vicious Hyenas going berserk all at once in a space about the size of a 777 jet or the White House lawn.
