Yeah it is a great quote, I like the old one I had also. Theirs quite a few Winston Churchill quotes that I like.

 

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill

 

This was my favorite quote for quite some time.

Yes, James, that's a great one too.  Here's one of a simliar vein about staying focused in order to continue:

"When you're up to your fanny in alligators, it's difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp." 

Don't know who said it though,  A colleague of mine uses it on her email auto signature.

Oh dear Ruth LOL you weren't to know, its odd how the same word means an entirely different thing in other countries. There's one word the Australians use quite a lot,  meaning a fella is good looking, athletic etc, and it means something quite rude here lol I'm not even typing it!Embarassed
