"Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened."

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
(Speech in the House of Commons, November 29, 1944)
