Winston Churchill Quotes, Horse Quotes, Taken Quotes

And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.

Silent, mournful, abandoned, broken, Czechoslovakia recedes into the darkness... We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude which has befallen Great Britain and France. Do not let us blind ourselves to that... Do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.
