Inspiration Quote by Winston Churchill — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When you get a thing the way you want it, leave it alone.”

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

“Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.”

“The price of greatness is responsibility.”

“...But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.”

“The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.”

“We are all something, but none of us are everything.”

“Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible.”

“The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.”

“The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.”

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
