Churchill origin?[edit]

Is it from Churchill (This was their finest hour)? "If we can stand up to [Hitler], all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands." Equinox 03:38, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Equinox: according to the OED, it predates Churchill's speech but was popularized by it. — SGconlaw (talk) 18:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
