“Never give in. 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.”
— Winston Churchill
“To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.”
— Bruce Lee
“It’s human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn’t banging loudly on the door.”
— David Hackworth
“Do not go gentle into the night, rage, rage against the dying of light.”
— Dylan Thomas
“The enemy whispered in my ear ‘you are not strong enough to withstand the storm’ I whispered back ‘I am the storm’”
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
