QUEEN ELIZABETH MOST INSPIRING QUOTES
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Brood look back at some of her most inspiring quotes:
“I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.”

“When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.”
“It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.”

“We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock.”
“Giant leaps often start with small steps.”

“Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.”
