Winston S. Churchill

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

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

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

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

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

If you are going through hell, keep going.

My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

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

Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

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

Never, never, never give in!

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
