winston churchill quotes

Was online earlier today to confirm the first quote in the following list and ended up finding tons more awesome Churchill quotes. That guy is as good a quote machine as any leader has ever been. Guys like that are great -- good leaders who are witty and not prone to hold back on what they really think. By the way, is it any accident that every great leader always seems to be of that mold? Methinks not. Anyway, here are some gems I found on a Churchill quote page. There were a lot of good ones over there but I decided to grab a handful and post them here too. Enjoy!

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

"This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read."

"We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty."

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

"We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

"There is no such thing as a good tax."

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

And last but not least, that all time favorite, one of the best quotes ever (drumroll)...

"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."

Winston Churchill was the man.
