Inspirational quotes

Postby Audax Victor on March 10th, 2010, 11:27 am

What quotes inspire you...?

Winston Churchill wrote: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.
No I won't play the games that you've devised
And I won't wait to listen to your lies
Before you speak another word
I'll repeat it so I'm heard
You're running out of games to play
I don't have to live this way

My Uncle Bill Yates.... a lovable rogue :lol: It was the last thing he said to me :cry: As far as I know, he never was! 8)
(Except by the thing that catches us all eventually)
"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt, the mobs should be forced to work and not depend on government for subsistence"
Cicero 55BC (The final years of Rome's Republic)

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

"We are weathering the storm; now is no time to turn back. We will hold to our course. And we will complete this mission. We have got through this storm together but there are still substantial risks ahead. There will be bumps in the road. And I believe the only way to overcome them is by displaying the same strength and resolve as we did during the crisis. I will not let you down."

Guess who?

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like, 'What's for lunch?'

Whenever I see those sons and daughters driven through Wootton Bassett on their way to their families.
Their sacrifice inspires me and I think of this;

They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old
age shall not weary
nor the years condemn
at the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
There is no god, get over it.
