Breaking my online silence for this so;
Winston Churchill has many quotes but seeing this world as it stands i believe the following is most appropriate for the nation if not the world to hear;
"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
And a timely quote for christmas:
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give".
For those who enjoy quotes of a certain nature, i suggest looking into Carl Sagan quotes. (ayase, you may enjoy them most of all)
"All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value."
Carl Sagan
"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
Carl Sagan
I'll input my personal mantra for those who may like it:
"Persistence is the key to success"
I leave you all with this last quote, again from Winston Churchill:
"I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter."
