Above: the indispensable, wonderful gift, a book that always should be a book and not merely an e-book:

The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill

~

1. “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

2. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

3. “If you are going through hell, keep going.”

4. “Play for more than you can afford to lose and you will learn the game.”

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

6. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

7. “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

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

9. “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
