Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
Winston Churchill's remarks at the Guildhall after the first British naval victory of World War I (September 4, 1914), as quoted in Martin Gilbert "Churchill: A Life" (p. 279), October 15, 1992.
