Winston Churchill

"Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result."

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

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

"Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse."

"In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might."

"As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us."

"It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary."
