Around 350 years after Shakespeare penned the words in the title of this post, Winston Churchill, another master of the English language, delivered perhaps his most memorable speech in the darkest hour of his beloved country. Today marks the 70th anniversary of that speech. Powerline's Scott Johnson has made note of the event in a post featuring a brief exerpt and a link to a Telegraph article on Churchill's agony in writing it. In addition, you will find a link to the Library of Congress video of the address.
Churchill received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1953 for his many volumes of history, biography and other works. He possessed a vivid, lively writing style well worth reading for information as well as enjoyment. For more on this remarkable leader, here is a link to his Wikipedia entry.
