Winston Churchill is said to have made a speech in which he said that, If we won’t fight when we can win, we may have to fight when we have no chance of winning but only to die as free men /women. This is from memory and not a quoite but it describes the present to a tee.Me? When the time comes, I will do the best that I can.
I know the quote you speak of. I think of it often, when looking at our present circumstances.
We must mount an effective resistance to the madness in Washington, even before the 2010 mid-term elections. If we falter, we will run smack into Sir Winston's calculus.
Yes, it is a great quote — “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; 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.” Winston Churchill.
“When the time comes, I will do the best that I can.”
I will also make a good account of myself!
