we shall fight on the beaches we shall fight on the landing grounds we shall fight on the fields, and in the street we shall fight on the hills we shall never surrender 'Sir, you are drunk!'. 'Madame that may be true, but in the morning I shall be sober whereas you will still be ugly'. Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison. If I were your husband I would take it. You can always count on Americans to do the right thing�after they�ve tried everything else. 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 made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, �This was their finest hour!�

This is one of my favorite Churchill quotes. One guy sends a letter to Winston inviting him to his play. He tells him he may bring friends, if he has any. He replies, saying, "I'm afraid I cannot make it to the first showing. I will see teh second showing, if there is one."
