"We shall not flag or fail. 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."

"And if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say 'This was their finest hour.'"

Both quotes from Winston Churchill. Emphasis is mine.
