"Even though large tracts of the Imperium and many old and famous systems have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Xenos and all the odious apparatus of Heretic rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in Catachan, we shall fight on the seas and oceans with dreadnoughts, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air with valkyries and thunderbarges, we shall defend our island with laser fire, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches with our tanks, we shall fight on the landing grounds with our rifles, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets with our bayonets, we shall fight in the bedroom with our tongues; we shall never surrender." - Attributed to Colonel Sandurtz, later executed, circa M40.
