Some more Winston Churchill quotes I liked: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. You can start changing our world for the better daily, no matter how small the action. One of the most difficult things is not to change society — but to change yourself. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again. When people are determined they can overcome anything. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another. If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important, and you do that by being genuine and humble. Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world. The greatest glory in living is not in falling, but in rising every time we fall.
