In tenth grade I wrote a ten page research paper on Winston Churchill. The man was a terrific orator, and one of the best parts of having to research his life was reading through pages of quotes from his speeches and personal interactions. I still love me a Churchill zinger.
Naturally, he had plenty to say about shidduchim:
First of all,
“Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” Never.
When bombarded with advice, suggestions, and segulos, remember that
“In critical and baffling situations, it is always best to recur to first principles and simple action.”
And that
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” Nothing more.
Finally,
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
