Theodore Roosevelt.

On October 14, 1912, an unemployed saloonkeeper shot former president and Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt outside a Milwaukee hotel. Rather than being rushed to the hospital, Roosevelt insisted on delivering his scheduled 90-minute speech. By slowing the bullet, those lengthy prepared remarks may actually have saved his life.

Theodore Roosevelt’s opening line was hardly remarkable for a presidential campaign speech: “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible.” His second line, however, was a bombshell.

“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot.”

The horrified audience in the Milwaukee Auditorium on October 14, 1912, gasped as the former president unbuttoned his vest to reveal his bloodstained shirt. “It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” the wounded candidate assured them. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a bullet-riddled, 50-page speech. Holding up his prepared remarks, which had two big holes blown through each page, Roosevelt continued. “Fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet—there is where the bullet went through—and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.”

Winston Churchill.

On forming a government to prepare for war:

I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

After a disastrous retreat from the continent:

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be.

I highly recommend taking a look at Ryan Holidays site / reading list and signing up for his monthly reading list email. (I also recommend going through his blog, he lists more history books that are well worth reading)
Ryan Holiday Books to Base Your Life On: http://www.ryanholiday.net/reading-list/
Monthly Reading List Email Archive: http://www.ryanholiday.net/reading-list-email-archive/

Through there you'll find a lot of good bios, history books, books that will give you insane insights to how the media works, etc, what periods of history to study.

Also read Robert Greene's works, all are good and he lists the bibliography of all the books / memoirs / bios he used as references.

Do that and your reading list is gonna be huge.

NOTE: Also actively read. Use highlighters, make notes, copy them to a google docs later (or if you use a kindle, paste them to a google docs for later reference). All of the above will improve your life greatly. Im in the middle of it and have been at it a for a while and take it from an internet stranger, it will make you powerful.
