“These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.” PeopleKnowsChildrenLittlesDoeSpiritCoursesNationsNumbersCitiesPlansToughKillingBritishLondonCowsCiviliansInvasionBombingLarge NumbersWantonLondoners Book:Sir Winston Churchill, K.

“This is to be observed of the Bishop of London, that, though apparently of a spirit somewhat austere, there is in his idiosyncrasy a strange fund of enthusiasm, a quality which ought never to be possessed by an Archbishop of Canterbury, or a Prime Minister of England. The Bishop of London sympathies with everything that is earnest; but what is earnest is not always true; on the contrary error is often more earnest than truth.” SpiritQualityStrangeOughtEnglandErrorsLondonContraryEnthusiasmMinistersFundPrimePossessedPrime MinisterEarnestBishopsIdiosyncrasiesCanterbury Author:Benjamin Disraeli
