O ye of little faith!

When did Winston Churchill ever say: "Golly, these Nazi chaps really know their stuff. Aryan discipline and all. We all know the master race will end up ruling Europe; why not start developing a taste for Wagner and sauerkraut? It'll take a bit of getting used to but I'm sure before long we'll all be downing steins and slapping our thighs with good old Fritz like nothing ever happened."

No! Churchill said:

"Never never never never never never never never NEVER give up." (Got a bit carried away that day).

Did Napoleon at Rivoli say: "Holy merde, I've got the Pope's army planning a secret attack on me in addition to fighting off these Austrians...Cock...Well, it's too late for France but if we all run away now we should get home in time for Coronation Street" !?? No! He said "On n'aime que ce qu'on ne possède pas tout entier!" (Translation: "Eat my croissants you yodelling Austrian bastards!")

Did Dr. Seuss, after having his first story rejected 27 times by the publishers he submitted it to, say "Well, looks like I'm not meant to be a success. Might as well go back to shoving my hand up a cow's arse for a living" ? NO! Seuss said some irritating gibberish in kitschy rhyme that I frankly can't make heads nor tails of. But he didn't give up! That's why he succeeded, and why you will if you persist, and won't if you give up.
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Edison
