Its interesting reading the debate on the list regarding the question what would Churchill do? And yes, when you think about it - it is rather pointless exercise trying to imagine what Churchill would do today. But its a question people keep asking.
Andrew Marr writes something at the Daily Mail. For those who dislike this pastime please accept my apologies. But it does include a qoute which I never heard before 'Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.'

I live in Brazil and not many people know about Churchill so theres not much point talking about who he is. I was 5 years of age when Churchill died and I grew up in the UK with the knowledge of who Churchill was, my sister did a study on his life at School. We can only have thankful hearts that this man lived when he did. Since his passing his life continues to influence many. My wife one day brought home a magaine on Hitler...Can you imagine. It was included free with another publication. It featured what it called great leaders in history. Unless I am very much mistaken the magazine series did not include Churchill in the series. There are times when I sometimes despair. But one day when I went into the city nearby. I visited a shop which sells Fibreglass supplies. To my great surprise a Brazilian gentleman behind the counter when he knew I was English, mentioned Churchill. He knew exactly who Churchill was and what he stood for. I told him about the list and said he wants to be signed up to the Churchill Chat. Generally when people know I am from England they think of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. So for someone to mention Churchill was great surprise. Anyhow I thought I would share this. If Churchill historians could be sponsored to visit Brazil and also other nations or a travelling exhibition it would be an interesting way of helping future generations not acquainted with Churchill to learn lessons from history.
