Quote

When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Winston Churchill

Only changes in mindsets can extend the frontiers of the possible.
Winston Churchill

The arts are essen­tial to any com­plete national life. The State owes it to itself to sus­tain and encour­age them. [...] Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the rev­er­ence and delight which are their due.
Winston Churchill
Image
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.
Winston Churchill
