Life-Strength.

Chandor, Sir Winston Churchill, 1946


We have surmounted all the perils and endured all the agonies of the past.   We shall provide against and thus prevail over the dangers and problems of the future, withhold no sacrifice, grudge no toil, seek no sordid gain, fear no foe.  All will be well. We have, I believe, within us the life-strength and guiding light by which the tormented world around us may find the harbour of safety, after a storm-beaten voyage.

Sir Winston Churchill 

Contrary to society's beliefs, ours are not the worst of times.  

I would suggest that Sir Winston's reminder to us be adapted for our circumstances and needs by changing "we" to "they."  We've allowed our times to happen to us. That didn't happen four generations ago.
