Arthur Scargill Quotes

Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Reach your ambition as high as the skies! Dream as high as the skies! Because if you fell, you will fall among the stars!!
