The phrase "blood, toil, tears and sweat" was first uttered on 2. July 1849 by Giuseppe Garibaldi when rallying his revolutionary forces in Rome.
However, the phrase became well known after a speech given by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the UK on 13. May 1940.
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat".
From Sep 2010 to Apr/May 2011 I will try to bike from San Francisco to Santiago.
I know this bicycle journey will offer me toil, sweat and joy.
Ta med litt hjem til meg også!
