Consider Winston Churchill’s wit – “I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”
Or Leonardo da Vinci’s perfectionism – “I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.”
Or General James Sedgewick’s pride as he ignored the pleas from his soldiers not to climb a parapet during the Battle of the Wilderness in the Civil War – “They couldn’t hit an elephant at this dist…”
Or Amelia Earheart’s courage when she wrote her last letter to her husband – “Please know that I am quite aware of the hazards. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”
