Nicholas Winton quotes:

Some people revel in taking risks, and some go through life taking no risks at all.

Ever since I was quite young, I was in St. John's Ambulance or the Red Cross; latterly, I've been involved in voluntary work with the mentally handicapped and Abbeyfield Old People's Homes.

Everyone thinks my story should be marked by heroism, but there was no risk to myself. You see, no-one in Prague at that time thought they were going to be at war with England.

I work on the motto that if something's not impossible, there must be a way to do it.

I've always enjoyed doing work that intrudes, or helps people.

If something's not impossible, there must be a way of doing it,

I wasn't heroic because I was never in danger.

Don't be content in your life just to do no wrong, be prepared every day to try and do some good.
