Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
Winston Churchill
Image
The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
Winston Churchill
Image
If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies, choking in his own blood upon the ground.
