Here are a couple of quotes that you may (or may NOT..) have heard. This first one has been attributed to several people over the years, but most frequently to Winston Churchill. I suppose it's because Churchill said something similar about fighting in a speech during the Battle of Britain when Germany was bombing England and "buzz bombs" were flying....
"We'll Fight Them, Sir, Until Hell Freezes Over, and Then We'll Fight Them On The Ice"
...An unnamed Confederate officer to General Robert E. Lee -- Battle of Gettysburg.
And here is what Winston Churchill had to say in one of his most famous speeches before the House of Commons on June 04, 1940, during the Battle of Britain. Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1953, becoming Sir Winston Churchill, KG
"...We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender."
Att: Winston Churchill
