Winston S. Churchill

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

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

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."

"This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning."

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations."

"Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have."

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

"Writing a long and substantial book is like having a friend and companion at your side, to whom you can always turn for comfort and amusement, and whose society becomes more attractive as a new and widening field of interest is lighted in the mind."

"Don't interrupt me while I'm interrupting."

"The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."

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

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

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

"To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour."

"The price of greatness is responsibility."
