Quotations from Winston Churchill:
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
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.
Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
(1874 - 1965) British Prime Minister
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
