"We are not all born with courage, but it's latent in all of us, and can and should be pulled out whenever the occasion arises. For the little ones first, by way of practice, and then, when you've made friends with courage, you'll only have to stretch out your hand to find it materializing at command. Never, ever be afraid.
"Be sad and sorry sometimes, because we all must be that way now and then. Be perplexed, because life is not all plain sailing. But never let life be too much for you. Take it as your motto these three words I'll repeat again: NEVER BE AFRAID."
Good advice for all troubled times, and certainly sums up the Spirit of Britain during the Blitz.
Speaking of royalty, which we can't seem to get enough of, I saw this morning on the news that the Queen (92) is a bit under the weather and cancelled an engagement yesterday. No cause for alarm, the doctor was not called, and she's traveling to Windsor this weekend, probably to ride her favorite pony, a black Fell named Carltonlima Emma. You gotta to love it.
