Jack’s Quotes

“What if you reached the Age of Reason, only to find there was no reprieve,
Would you be a Man for All Seasons, or would you just disbelieve?”
― Al Stewart

“Thus far then have we travelled along the terrible road we chose at the call of duty. The mood of Britain is wisely and rightly averse from every form of shallow or premature exultation. This is no time for boasts or glowing prophecies, but there is this: A year ago our position looked forlorn, and well nigh desperate to all eyes but our own. To-day we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: 'We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.”
― Winston Churchill
