By Winston Churchill

  • We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out
  • Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
  • Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
  • The price of greatness is responsibility
  • History will be kind to me for I intend to write it
  • A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
  • Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential
  • You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
  • Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference
  • Difficulties mastered are opportunities won
  • Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others
  • Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
  • Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it
  • Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
  • I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught
  • The empires of the future are the empires of the mind
