CHAPTER 31
Be True to Your Own Values
LEARNING FROM
Winston Churchill
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. . .. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: it is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”1
WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874–1965) ON MAY 13, 1940,
IN HIS FIRST SPEECH AS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
