Some more Winston Churchill quotes I liked: Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft. Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut. Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.  To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day. Danger: if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never! You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war. They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. It's no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary. It is the people who control the Government, not the Government the people. There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true. The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong. Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others. It’s not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. Success always demands a greater effort. You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give. I never worry about action, but only about inaction. Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.
