~~~~~~~

We will hereafter believe less history than ever, now that we have seen how it is made.

~~~~~~~

We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.

~~~~~~~

We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.

~~~~~~~
