"Never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense” — Winston Churchill.
Winston Churchill, the eminent statesman and British prime minister during the Second World War, delivered a powerful speech at Harrow School in 1941. Among his words, one line became unforgettable: “Never give in.
Never give in.
Never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense.” These often-quoted lines are not only about war or politics;
they are also about the strength of the human spirit.
