"Winston Churchill was perhaps one of the most courageous leaders this country ever had and yet, he was always man enough to face up to whatever lay ahead. He reminded England in those dark days of the Second World War when we looked as though we were on the verge of defeat 'not to lose courage' for the task ahead. He knew that the only way he could keep up the nation's courage while going from failure to failure on the battle front was never to lose one's enthusiasm and zest for the way of life we all loved."
