Gandhi (from the movie)
- We will not strike a blow
Whatever they do, we will attack no one, kill no one. But we will not give our fingerprints - not one of us. They will imprison us, they will fine us... But they cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them... We will not strike a blow - but we will receive them. Through our pain we will make them see their injustice... but we cannot lose. We cannot. Because they may torture my body, may break my bones, even kill me... They will then have my dead body - not my obedience.
Buddha
- Be thankful
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
Winston Churchill
- Blood, toil, tears and sweat.
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs.
