Many have (probably) begun a proclomation with these five words at one point or the other.
In his address to the US Congress, which was broadcast over the "Voice of America" during the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill said "It was his Majesty's fervent wish that I should seek the assistance of the United States to sweep the Nazi hordes from Europe. This I will strive to do with all my heart and soul. I will not rest until I achieve this great endeavour - a task I have already begun."
American Politician Maria Cantwell promised "We will not rest until the wooden stake is punched through the heart of the Enron lawsuit against us".
According to the famed Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, "The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until is has gained a hearing."
Radiant beauty, talented acress and dedicated humanitarian Audrey Hepburn has been quoted as saying "I will not rest until no child goes hungry. All is possible." - a goal which she sadly couldn't reach in her lifetime.
More recently, someone vehemently proclaimed "I will not rest until I get a pantry!!"
**Author raises eyebrow in confusion**
"I work for a multimillion dollar company," he continued. "I refuse to rinse my lunchbox in the washroom! I demand the dignity of a pantry; and I will not rest until I get one!!"
Aren't quotations the most fabulous things?
