On June 4, 1940, the newly-elected Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill, delivered a speech to the House of Commons in response to the ever-expanding Nazi invasion of Europe.
"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength 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 in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..."
I find this oration quite inspiring, and I often invoke Churchill's words during times of adversity. British tenacity at its finest.
