"This is no time for ease and comfort. It is the time to dare and endure."

Winston Churchill

"This happy breed of men, this little world
This precious stone, set in the silver sea
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against envy of less happier lands
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England ..."

ur Richard III av W. Shakespeare
