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

“I'm bored with it all.”

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

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

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.”

“If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it.”

“No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.”

“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”

“You can't create in a vacuum. Life gives you the material and dreams can propel new beginnings.”

“The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.”
