Quote of the day 17th September 2019

The quote below is often attributed to Sir Winston Churchill. There is no conclusive proof that he ever really said it and the leading expert on Churchill quotes argues that he probably didn't. What evidence does exist is discussed by the Quote Investigator site here.

Whether or not Churchill himself actually used these words, the saying does appear to originate from about 1943, when Churchill and others were trying to inspire people who were going through a hellish war.

He certainly did say things which convey the same message of hope and determination, and it is good advice.
