Learning to persevere
In a speech made October 29th, 1941
to the boys at Winston Churchill's old public school, Harrow, he said:"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.
Never yield to force;
never yield to the apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy.''
"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.
Never yield to force;
never yield to the apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy.''
