Quote of the Week Contest

Okay ya'll in preparation and anticipation of the release of Book Two of The Lady of Rose Cottage series: Forsaken Legacy

I am hosting a quote of the week contest : Every week between now and Sept. 11, 2011 (ironically auspicous date) I will post a quote from either an actual person, a book/ book character, a line from a poem, or who knows-  every person who identifies the source properly will be put into a drawing.
(Warning these will not be easy)
 On Sept. 14 the day before Forsaken Legacy is released on Kindle -I will pick one name  and that person will recieve a free copy of the book- either e-book or paper, your choice.
 due to the problems with post on blogspot you can send your answers to my e-mail  found in my contact info-  my facebook page - or through twitter( mymordred )
 In the meantime Book 1  of the series: Beyond the Legend is available at Kindle now and will go on sale Aug. 1 for  .99 cents
Okay first quote:
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."  Who said it? 
Hint: the man was from the UK -think WWII.

please note: that if the winner chooses a print book those will not be avialable until Oct.
