Now we are the masters of our fate, that the task which has been set us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable willpower, salvation will not be denied us.

It is good to obey all the rules when you're young; so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.

If the British Empire is fated to pass from life into history, we must hope it will not be by the slow process of dispersion and decay, but in some supreme exertion for freedom, for right and for truth.

We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible. Our qualities and deeds must burn and glow through the gloom Europe until they become the veritable beacon oits salvation.

This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless, by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
