An Optimist Sees The Oportunity In Every

Hitler Knows That He Will Have To Break Us In This Island Or Lose The War. If We Can Stand Up To Him, All Europe May Be Free, And Life Of The World May Move Forward Into Broad, Sunlit Uplands. But If We Fall, 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... Let Us Therefore Brace Ourselves To Our Duties, And So Bear Ourselves That, If The British Empire And Its Commonwealth Last For A Thousand Years, Men Will Still Say, 'this Was Their Finest Hour.'

Indeed I Do Not Think We Should Be Justified In Using Any But The More Sombre Tones And Colours While Our People, Our Empire, And Indeed The Whole English-speaking World Are Passing Through A Dark And Deadly Valley.

The Test Of A People Is What They Can Do When They're Tired.

A Prisoner Of War Is A Man Who Tries To Kill You And Fails, And Then Asks You Not To Kill Him.

Never Give In Except To Convictions Of Honour And Good Sense. Never Yield To Force; Never Yield To The Apparently Overwhelming Might Of The Enemy.
