"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" said by Winston Churchill during one of his speech.
He is generally consider a hero in western lore, a sort of messiah leading the West against the devil in the form of Hitler. IMO, his legacy is sparce. His insistance on fighting rather than negotiating with Germany led to a devastating war in Europe that bankrupted Britain. The war cost not only them their empire, but also France, Belgium and the Netherlands their's. It also led to two thirds of Europe being enslaved and impoverished by Stalinist Russia for fifty years.
