"Sme naďalej pánmi svojho osudu. Sme stále kapitánmi svojich duší." (Winston Churchill, 1941)
“The mood of Britain is wisely and rightly averse from every form of shallow or premature exultation. This is no time for boasts or glowing prophecies, but there is this—a year ago our position looked forlorn, and well nigh desperate, to all eyes but our own. Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world, ‘We are still masters of our fate. We still are captain of our souls.'”
—House of Commons, 9 September 1941
