Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874-1965) was the prime minister of Great Britain during the worst moments during the Second World War. He was an officer, but he is known as a historian and one of the most famous orators in history. In 1953 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, "for his mastery of historical and biographical descriptions, as well as for his brilliant oratory in defense of human values". Below you can read 30 of his sayings.
• Joking is a very serious thing!
• The lie has gone halfway around the world, before the truth has worn its pants!
• Man does what must be done – regardless of personal consequences, despite obstacles, dangers and pressures – and this is the basis of all human morality.
• A pessimist sees difficulties in every opportunity; An optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.
• The politician has the ability to predict what will happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And, it has the ability to then explain why the aforementioned did not happen!
• A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and then asks you not to kill him!
• Although I am quite satisfied with the existing explosives, I feel that we should not move in the direction of improving them!
• Although I was prepared for martyrdom, I preferred to leave it for later!
• The peacemaker is the one who tries to feed the crocodile, hoping that he will eat it last!
• Behavior is a small thing that makes a big difference!
• Battles are won by massacres and maneuvers. The great general, the more he prioritizes maneuver, the less room he leaves for slaughter!
• Courage has rightly been valued as the first human quality... because it is the quality that guarantees the others!
• Criticism may not be acceptable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function that pain has in the human body. It draws attention to the unhealthy state of things!
• Difficulties overcome are opportunities gained!
• Do not leave large spaces for a new world, indulge your energies in saving what is left of the old!
• Eating words has never hurt my digestion!
• Everyone has their day and some days are longer than others!
• As for me, I think it would be much better for all parties to leave the past to history, especially since I intend to write my own history!
• Great and good are rarely the same person!
• He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire!
• Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have!
• History is written by the winners!
• As nice as the strategy is, I sometimes look at the results!
• I always avoid giving prophecies in advance, because it is much better to prophesy after a development has already happened!
• I am always ready to learn even though I never like to be taught!
• I'm certainly not one of those people who needs prodding. In fact, if I am anything, I am the incentive itself!
• I am easily satisfied with beauty!
• I like pigs. Dogs look down on us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals!
• The empires of the future are empires of the mind!
• I have no intention of dealing with politics or politicians anymore. When this war is over, I will only deal with writing and painting! /Translated by: Elida Buçpapaj/
