Winston Churchill was the British statesman and leader who God used to lead the United Kingdom during World War II. He was quite a witty gentleman, below are a few of his quotes.
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
“I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.”
“I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
“The price of greatness is responsibility.”
“From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.”
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
“I’m just preparing my impromptu remarks.”
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
“We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.”
Very cute. Lord help me be a glow worm. :)
I hope you enjoyed the sunshine today.
It was great to see you Sunday.
Love ya,
Marie :)
Here’s something interesting: a lot of 20-somethings in Britain don’t believe in Churchill…as in, don’t believe he existed, that all the recordings (even video) of him are made up. How strange is that?
“I’m just preparing my impromptu remarks” – I love that, haha!
Churchill is great for quoting in speeches! I did that a lot. :)
When I saw this post title, I immediately pictured his face pasted into the body of this: http://www.seefred.com/sitepics/products/keychains/gloworm.jpg
which…was a weird mental image I have to say!
I think I’m a glow worm as well. :)
He really was a witty man!
“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”
I love that one! What a fun post I love quotes!

Those are so fun! I enjoy reading the witty and serious quotes of historical figures…like G.K.Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Jane Austen :)
Have a Great Day!
Lol…Churchill quotes are so great! I’ve only heard a few of these, but even if they weren’t new to me – today would still be brighter for this post! :D
Haha, those quotes are great.
We actually got to visit the Winston Churchill museum when we were in London last October. It’s really quite a fun place, with lots of interactive stuff, including this one touch screen computer where you can find out what Winston was doing on any given day of his life. Which was fun, in a kind of stalker-ish way. ;) Even the 12 y.o., who “hates museums” thought that this one was pretty cool.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!

What fun quotes! Thanks for stopping by my blog… I’ve actually been “lurking” on yours for a while,… I enjoy your posts and am absolutely inspired by your pictures! Look forward to meeting you at the Crossroads conference!

I like those! I think ‘glow worm’, ‘attitude’ and ‘enimies’ are my favorites of the ones you posted. Here is one of my favorite quotes, also by a Brit-
‘” Jesus promised His diciples three things- that they would be completely
fearless,absurdly happy, and in
constant trouble.”‘
~by G.K. Chesterton.
When I first read it, I had to laugh, because it is so true!!
