Winston Churchill on motivation and goals

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

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.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Do, or do not. There is no ‘try.’

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