es what others have to say resonates within the times the words were spoken. Sometimes those same words remain relevant beyond the year or decade they were first uttered. I find this true of many things Winston Churchill said.Here is one of his quotes that stuck with me. It resonated back in the 1940s and remains relevant today. While the quote can obviously be applied to world politics and conflict, I think it also can be applied to smaller venues such as local politics or personal situations in one’s life.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --Winston Churchill

Also, this quote is one of the items that sparked the writing of my short story "Seconds to Eternity" which will soon be released by Aberrant Dreams and their recently revamped website.
