Write Quotations
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Winston Churchill
For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.
Winston Churchill
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Mark Twain
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.
