...awesome churchill quotes. When it was unclear whether the USSR or the US would enter the war against Germany and chances of a lone British military victory were slim, Churchill declares, "If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground."

another good one about england sending aid to the ussr after it was attacked by the nazis:
"I have only one purpose, the destruction of Hitler, and my life is much simplified thereby. If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."
