Winston Churchill, 1940:
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight
on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds.
We shall fight in
the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills. We shall never
surrender.
"We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!"
"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and it's Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say 'This was their finest hour'.".
"...if we fail, then the whole world - including the United States - including all that we have known and cared for - will sink into the abyss of a new 'Dark Age', made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.".
