Re: [fpn-p] Re: Conway Stewart Churchill

14 July 2009

Beautiful, beautiful pen, kuya Chito! It's truly deserving of its "grail" status.

Those pictures make me want to sing "God Save the Queen", hehehe..

So, will you be lighting that cigar anytime soon? ;)

And in honor of your pen's namesake:

"I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and suffering.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of terror. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival." -- Winston Churchill, 10 May 1940

"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 hill; we shall never surrender..." -- Winston Churchill, 4 June 1940

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'" -- Winston Churchill, 18 June 1940

"History will be kind to me... for I intend to write it." (dunno when he said this, or if he really said this at all)

Another undocumented quote (perhaps, one of the more famous ones):

Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."
Churchill: "Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it."

Have a good day, folks! Cheers on your grail pen, kuya Chito! WooHoo!

Jo
