It's a...long distance race, quite solitary and very exhausting.~ Albert Camus Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.~ Albert Camus There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings.~ Hodding Carter Our duty, as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'~ Sir Winston Churchill I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.~ Sir Winston Churchill We shall not flag or fail. 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 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 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.~ Sir Winston Churchill This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But, it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.~ Sir Winston Churchill Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.~ Sir Winston Churchill The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero I leave this rule for others when I'm dead, Be always sure you're right -- then go ahead.~ Davy Crockett I want people to be able to get what they need to live: enough food, a place to live, and an education for their children. Government does not provide these as well as private charities and businesses.~ Davy Crockett To be nobody but yourself -- in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you like everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.~ e. e. cummings Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coattails.~ Clarence S. Darrow The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom. The modern world is the child of doubt and inquiry, as the ancient world was the child of fear and faith.~ Clarence S. Darrow Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself.~ Miguel de Unamuno Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.~ Frederick Douglass Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
