Quotations
Winston S. Churchill

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.
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.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
