WE SHALL GO ON TO THE END... WE SHALL FIGHT IN FRANCE, WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE SEAS AND IN THE OCEANS, SHALL FIGHT WITH GROWING CONFIDENCE AND GROWING STRNGTH 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 STREETS AND IN THE MILLS.... WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER AND EVEN IF, WHICH I DO NOT FOR A MOMENT BELIEVE, THIS ISLAND, OR EVEN PART OF IT, IS SUBJUGATED AND STARVING, THEN OUR EMPIRE ACROSS THE SEAS, ARMED AND GUARDED BY THE BRITISH FLEET, WILL CARRY ON THE STRUGGLE, UNTIL, IN GOD'S GOOD TIME, THE NEW WORLD, IN ALL ITS STRENGTH AND MIGHT, SETS FORTH TO THE RESCUE AND LIBERATION OF THE OLD. BRITAIN WILL FIGHT THE MENACE OF TYRANNY FOR YEARS, AND, IF NECESSARY, ALONE. - WINSTON CHURCHILL
