Quotations
Winston S. Churchill
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
