Hope and Glory (1987)

Gerald James: Headmaster

Quotes 

• Headmaster : O God, bring destruction to our enemies. Make these young ones true soldiers of the Lord. Guide Mr. Churchill's hand in the cunning of war. Let our righteous shells smite down the Messerschmitts and the Fokkers. Lord, send troublesome dreams to Herr Hitler. Let him not sleep the sleep of the innocent. And comfort our warriors at the fronts. Brighten their swords and burnish their bullets with your fire. We beseech thee, O Lord, to have mercy on these, thy children. We dedicate our studies this day to the war effort. Amen.

• Headmaster : Eyes front! Keep still down there, you little ones. It's discipline that wins wars.
