Winston Churchill
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, 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.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech, 1941, Harrow School

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

I like a man who grins when he fights.
