1. Uneducated
   Uninspired
2. Embarrassed

“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.” Churchill truly valued the power of education and learning.

1. They were false.
   They make no sense.
2. Half of them are true.

“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.” This is a great example of Churchill’s wit and intelligence.

1. Ruin
   Destroy
2. Penetrate

“To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.” This is so profoundly true, and this quote held great weight in the face of WWII.

1. Move on
   Change often
2. Give up

“To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to change often.” Change is not as easy as it seems, though! Winston gives us the courage to do it.

1. The farther forward you are likely to see
   The more you will fall behind
2. The smarter you get

“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” This is a great reminder to delve into history and to try to understand the past as much as possible.

1. Effort
   Patience
2. Responsibility

“The price of greatness is responsibility.” And yet, taking on responsibility is far more difficult than it seems.

1. Never get up
   Simply give up
2. Pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.” Again, here Winston shows his wit, humor and fierce intelligence.

1. When the organ grinder is in the room
   When you're all alone
2. When you can't speak monkey

“Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.” Winston teaches us to always be cautious.

1. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
   But if you run away you will be safe
2. But if you give up you will be smart

“One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.” Winston teaches us to always face what must be faced. It’s safer in the end.

1. Although I can't always follow through
   Although I do not always like being taught
2. Although I don't always understand

“Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.” It’s true that it’s fun to learn, but often difficult to be taught.

1. Without questioning
   With no loss of enthusiasm
2. Without hope

“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” Truly, one encounters failure so much in life. It’s important to keep your enthusiasm, nonetheless.

1. That it is supreme
   That courage is Godly
2. It is the quality which guarantees all others

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because it has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.” This is so profoundly true. Without courage, there are no other virtues.

1. The journey is an illusion
   The journey will come to an end
2. You know you will never get to the end of the journey.

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.” It’s about the path itself, and not the end result. Thank you, Winston.

1. Define
   Write
2. Sing

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.” And, in truth, Winston Churchill did just that.

1. Bit of difference
   Little difference
2. Big difference

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.” That’s so important to remember. It really does come down to attitude, in the end.

1. Hope
   Resilience
2. Courage

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” And sometimes, that courage can be the most difficult thing to find.

1. Stop
   Move on
2. Keep going

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Did you know that this famous quote was by Winston Churchill?

1. This day ends
   This day will not return
2. Some days last longer than others

“Everyone has his day, and some days last longer than others.” It’s true, that everyone has their day, but it seems like the day for some lasts longer than others.

1. Failed
   Stood up for something
2. Succeeded

“You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” Winston Churchill had a few enemies, as well.

1. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.
2. (Hint: There is no other option)

“Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.” Quintessential Winston Churchill wit.

1. You kill the monster and fling him to the public
   The monster kills you
2. You give up

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy then an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then it becomes a tyrant and, in the last stage, just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.” That just about sums it up.

1. Till it's over
   Unless they decide to
2. And those who could make a good peace would never have won the war

“Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace, and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.” No explanation needed here.

1. To give up
   To live as slaves
2. To banish love

“You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” It’s truly better perish than to be enslaved.

1. Disappear
   Shape us
2. Burn to the ground

“We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.” This is the perfect quote for an interior designer.

1. Adequacy is power
   Adequacy is love
2. Adequacy is no standard at all

“What is adequacy? Adequacy is no standard at all.” It truly is no standard, at all. Winston aimed much higher than that.

1. There is only one idea
   There is only one duty
2. There is only one thought

“There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right.” Winton Churchill was certainly one to always speak his mind.

1. A terrible idea
   A new experience
2. A wholesome diet

“In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.” Winston was truly in love with his own words.

1. Great things
   Positive solutions
2. Negative solutions

“Every man should ask himself each day whether he is not too readily accepting negative solutions.” Winston Churchill would not stand for negative solutions.

1. Patience
   A resolute purpose behind them
2. Money involved

“It is wonderful what great strides can be made when there is a resolute purpose behind them.” Oh, the power of purpose. It can’t be underestimated.

1. Character, not technicalities
   Grief, not happiness
2. Intelligence, not judgement

“The first duty of the university is to teach wisdom, not a trade; character, not technicalities. We want a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of engineers.” Truer words were ne’er spoken.

1. Everything that is sound is disagreeable
   Money has no meaning
2. Nothing else matters

“In finance, everything that is agreeable is unsound and everything that is sound is disagreeable.” Finance can be quite corrupt, and too much is never enough.

1. Given back
   Taken out of me
2. Cost me

“All I can say is that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.” Truly, Winston Churchill did love his drink.

1. Pretty
   Smart
2. Right sometimes

“The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.” Always be open to the opinions of others. That is the truth.

1. Freedom
   Justice
2. Freedom; justice; honour; duty; mercy; hope

“All the greatest things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honour; duty; mercy; hope.” Truly, all the greatest things in life can be expressed in a single word.

1. Pigs run away.
   Pigs eat dirt.
2. Pigs treat us as equals.

“I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” And what do we do to the kindly pig? We eat it. . . .
