Seems a fitting time for some Churchill quotes. May the inner Churchill rise up in our British brothers.
“One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.”
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
“You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
“The price of greatness is responsibility.”
thx for the Churchill....we have to remember that there once existed such men....
Hillsdale college ran a free online coarse on Churchill that was great.
Best (well most entertaining.)
He and Lady Astor did NOT get along.
Lady Nancy Astor:
“Winston, if you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.”
Winston Churchill:
“Nancy, if you were my wife, I’d drink it.”
Bookmarking greatness.
