"an initial 17 second excerpt of Winston Churchill's acceptance speech to the British House of Commons on 13 May 1940, citing the words: ""I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."".

In that speech he had said nothing about the military situation in France and the Low Countries.

"to an invaluable preface by W. B. Yeats. An introduction by poet W. B. Yeats was added to the second edition of ""Song Offerings"". Yeats wrote, (this volume has) ""stirred my blood as nothing has for years. . . ."" He candidly informed the readers, ""I have carried the manuscript of these translations about with me for days, reading it in railway trains, or on the top of omnibuses and in restaurants, and I have often had to close it lest some stranger would see how much it moved me.

In Latin, Cicero and Livy had used the phrase ""sweat and blood"". ""We are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history...

Blood and Iron (speech) Blood and Iron (German: ""Blut und Eisen"") is the name given to a speech made by Otto von Bismarck given on 30 September 1862, at the time when he was Minister President of Prussia, about the unification of the German territories. It is also a transposed phrase that Bismarck uttered near the end of the speech that has become one of his most widely known quotations.

According to an early Buddhist source, Ajita Kesakambali argued that: There is no such thing as alms or sacrifice or offering. There is neither fruit nor result of good or evil deeds...A human being is built up of four elements.

The appeal of the three-fold pattern is also illustrated by the transformation of Winston Churchill's reference to ""blood, toil, tears and sweat"" (echoing Garibaldi and Theodore Roosevelt) in popular recollection to ""blood, sweat and tears"". Similarly, Thomas Hobbes' ""Leviathan"" describes the importance of community, without which life would be ""solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short"".

The poem begins ""We have a small hand with five fingers, Wax fingers thin to breaking. The pulse beats at their beginning and at their end—fingernails.""

I had a lecture, the principal heading of which was ""Thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not kill"", and I pointed out that as a consequence of the robbery that goes on in all civilised countries today, our respective countries have had to keep armies, and that inevitably our armies must clash together. On that and on other grounds, I consider capitalism the most infamous, bloody and evil system that mankind has ever witnessed. My language is regarded as extravagant language, but the events of"

No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation, and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.

Other writers have pointed out that the Greek word ""praus"" (πραεῖς) was used to define a horse trained for battle. Wild stallions were brought down from the mountains and broken for riding. Some were used to pull wagons, some were raced, and the best were trained for warfare. They retained their fierce spirit, courage, and power, but were disciplined to respond to the slightest nudge or pressure of the rider’s leg. They could gallop into battle at 35 miles per hour and come to"

Neither dew nor shower nor rainfall yields its freshness to that field, Where they fell, the strong men fighting, shrewdest in the battle's skill, Father, mother, sister, brother, friends, the dead with tears have wept.

The crowd, by Wirt's account, jumped up and shouted ""To Arms! To Arms!"". For 160 years Wirt's account was taken at face value. In the 1970s, historians began to question the authenticity of Wirt's reconstruction. Betsy Ross (January 1, 1752 – January 30, 1836) is"
"Workers of the world, unite! The political slogan ""Workers of the world, unite!"" is one of the most famous rallying cries from ""The Communist Manifesto"" (1848) by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (, literally ""Proletarians of all countries, unite!"", but soon popularised in English as ""Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!""). A variation of this phrase (""Workers of all lands, unite"") is also inscribed on Marx's tombstone. The essence of the slogan is that members of the working classes throughout the world should cooperate to achieve victory in class conflict. Five years before"
