My Life

My Life - Oswald Mosleyand of life, it would be folly to describe precisely in advance the road by which weshall attain them. A great man of action once observed: "No man goes very far whoknows exactly where he is going", and the same observation applies with some forceto modern movements of reality in the changing situations of today. 'We ask thosewho join us to march with us in a great and hazardous adventure. We ask them to beprepared to sacrifice all, but to do so for no small and unworthy ends. We ask them todedicate their lives to building in this country a movement of the modern age, whichby its British expression shall transcend, as often before in our history, everyprecursor of the Continent in conception and in constructive achievement.'We ask them to re-write the greatest pages of British history by finding for the spiritof their age its highest mission in these islands. Neither to our friends nor to thecountry do we make any promises; not without struggle and ordeal will the future bewon. Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitteranimosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can onlyoffer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live.'280 of 424
