“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” Winston Churchill
Sometimes, when you volunteer for a cause, it’s not all bake sales and glitzy fundraisers. It’s standing up and shining light in dark places. Easy? No. But sometimes that’s what it takes to make what you care about, a reality.
What causes matter most to you?
Thanks to Pattie Welek Hall for first bringing this quote to my attention.
It’s a good quote. It’s a shame we don’t still have politicians like Churchill around.
I love how he didn’t sugar coat anything.
It definitely must deserve some attention from me because this is the second time I’ve seen it this morning. Thanks and blessings!
Isn’t it funny how that happens?
Great reminder Marney. It puts me in mind of something my Dad always said. That the right thing to do is rarely the easiest thing to do.
You go, girl! Love your blog and what beats to your heart. You are such an inspiration!
Very well said. The most meaningful and far reaching results are many times attained after much pain and strenuous and extended effort.
Churchill didn’t candy-coat things. He is definitely one of my historic heroes…
Well he certainly stood up for things. Wonderful that he was such an inspiration during the war, not just to the British but to people all over Europe listening in secret and risking their lives to do so, and that he’s still an inspiration. Lovely quote, thank you
This is so true—to not stand up for what you believe in or be yourself is a waste of who and what you are!!!
