And you, madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning.
Sir Winston Churchill in response to Bessie Braddock, who told him
he was drunk
Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius
is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of
educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge (President of the United States)
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does
anything.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the end, it is even not the beginning of the end. It is

I will venture to lay it down for an infallible rule, that, if two
persons equal in judgement play for a considerable sum, he that
loves money the most shall lose; his anxiety for the success of
the game confounds him.
Benjamin Franklin (1706--1790) Journal of a Voyage, 1726.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall
fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing
confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our
island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the
fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall
never surrender.
Sir Winston Churchill
History is a lie agreed upon.
Napoleon Bonaparte

absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come
only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they
thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman (1884-1972)
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person
standing between Nixon and the White House.
JFK (1917-1963)
I would not like to be a political leader in Russia. They never
know when they're being taped.
