Inspirational Quote (Its worked before)

[otherottawaguy]

Adapted from Winston Churchill's, 18 June 1940 speech to the House of Commons:

....However matters may go in France or with French Management or with another French Management,

we on this island and in the Mannkind Community will never lose our sense of comradeship with the Diabetic populous.

If we are now called upon to endure what they have suffered we shall emulate their courage,

and if final victory rewards our toils they shall share the gains, aye.

And freedom shall be restored to all. We abate nothing of our just demands—Doctors, Patients,

Siblings, Parents, Children, all who have joined their causes to our own shall be restored.

What any investor has called the Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Mannkind 2.0 is about to begin.

Upon this battle depends the survival of Mannkind. Upon it depends our own investments life,

and the long continuity of our institutions and our founders legacy. The whole fury and might

of the enemy has been turned on us. Competitors knows that they will have to break us in this island

or lose market share. If we can stand up to they, all Diabetics may be freed and the life of their world

may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

But if we fail, then the whole world, including our company, including all that we have known and

cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted,

by the lights of perverted science.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if Mannkind and its Afrezza

last for a twenty years, future investors will still say,

This was their finest hour

and an older one just for fun:

Enter the LONG

WESTMORESHARES: O that we now had here
But one hundred thousand of those shares they shorted
That do not rise to-day!

LONG. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreshares? No, my fair cousin;
If MNKD is mark'd to rise, we are enow
To do our portfolio loss today; and if to live,
The fewer shares, the greater the ROI.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one share more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth short upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my shares loan while paying me 23%;
Such outward things dwell not in my portfolio.
But if it be a sin to covet capital gain,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a share from the treasury.
God's peace! I would not lose so great a gain
As one short more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreshares, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his portfolio shall be made,
And sixty-two pennies for trading put into his purse;
We would not hold in that seller's company
That fears his fellowship to suffer loss with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Mannkind.
He that holds this day, and comes away holding,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse his purse at the name of Mannkind.
He that shall hold this day, and see a gain,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours who doth not hold,
And say 'To-morrow is Mannkind's day.'
Then will he strip his statement and show its growth,
And say 'These wounds I had on Mannkind day.'
Old traders forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What trades he did not that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in the market as household words-
Tesla, Volkswagon, Netflix,
Ford and Zarlink, Excelixis and LyondellBasell;
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red that turned to gold.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Mannkind shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we invested shall be remembered.

We few, we happy few, we band of investors;
For he to-day that holds his shares with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his retirement;
And traders not holding and now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not loading,
And hold their investments cheap whiles any speaks
That held with us upon Mannkind's day.

In the battle of Agencourt, the winners were using longbows. Who remembers the French with their shortbows? Nobody.

Some one was asking about other Winston Churchill quotes.

We Shall Fight on the Beaches
June 4, 1940.

House of Commons
The position of the B. E.F had now become critical...

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Danbury home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of Mannkind’s Management-every man of them. That is the will of Patients and Investors. The Mannkind community, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their toil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of patients and many old long investors have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Shorts and all the odious apparatus of MM’s rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight those in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our company, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the bulletin boards, we shall fight on the JDRF walk grounds, we shall fight in the markets but ner' in the pink sheets, we shall fight in the press; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this company or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our user community beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the updated labels, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New Paradigm, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
