Basically, could anyone out there record some elderly Englishman doing a Churchhilly/Statesmanlike impression with this line?

"There comes a time in a young man’s life when he must decide to make something of himself or risk being made, by his own impulses, and the winds of chance, into something he may not altogether like."

And release it under like CC0 so that I can exploit it commercially but also so that everyone else can. I'd even pay for it to be recorded and the license to be released, and stuff, honestly. I just need the voice.

Hey, I can't help with your request (being from Germany), but a quick google search yielded this: https://de.voicebunny.com/search/?units=35&minimum_price=0&maximum_price=50&language=eng-uk&gender_and_age=seniorMale&type=u - you might have better luck there and at 30€ per roughly 30 words it should come out to about the same.

I may not be quite the age of voice you're looking for but here's a version.

The link will work after the sound has been moderated, which may take a while.

I only release sounds here as CC-BY-NC, but you're welcome to use it for any purpose (including commercial) as long as it's something creative (ie not just selling my sample).

@Klippert Yeah, I started looking for sites like this after I made this post. It was supposed to be a background clip in the song of a hobbyist musician (me) but I may just end up paying someone anyway—hahah.

I'm very very sorry, Speedenza, but I mean: I can sort of do it myself, if it just came down to a britishy-sounding voice of any age. I'm sort of trying to evoke a certain feel. Thank you a lot, though. I do appreciate it.
