It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.

We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.
Winston Churchill
Image
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.

We are shaping the world faster than we can change ourselves, and we are applying to the present the habits of the past.

Oh, what is the matter with poor Puggy-Wug? Pet him and kiss him and give him a hug. Run and fetch him a suitable drug. Wrap him up tenderly all in a rug. That is the way to cure Puggy-Wug.

Who's in or out, who moves the grand machine, Nor stirs my curiosity, or spleen Secrets of state no more I wish to know Than secret movements of a puppet-show Let but the puppets move, I've my desire, Unseen the hand which guides the master wire.
Winston Churchill
Image
We are really doing our very best. There are no doubt many mistakes and shortcomings. A lot of things are done none too well. Some things that ought to be done have not yet been done...[But Britain's effort has] justly commanded the wonder and admiration of every friendly nation in the world.

I look like a down-and-out drunk who has been picked out of the gutter in the Strand.

It is sheer laziness not compressing thought into a reasonable space.

Failure should never go to heart and success should never go to head, both makes a person to fall in life.
Winston Churchill
Image
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations

Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
