<span>In looking
at the speech, “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” and looking for predictions,
there are, in fact, three lines that speak directly of what he feels lies ahead
for Great Britain: “I say to the House
as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer
but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most
grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.” While Winston Churchill does predict victory
in other parts of the speech and even states, “…victory at all costs,” those
three lines are the only lines that speak of the what those costs are and of
their impact on the people of Great Britain.</span>
