Winston Churchill

"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."

-Winston Churchill

As I was googling Winston Churchill, this quote from his "Never Give In" speech kept repeatedly showing up. Winston Churchill delievered this quote on October 29, 1941 in the Harrow School. This specific quote caught my attention because it shocked me of the overwhelming strength and confidence that this man had. Even though at the time there was slim to no hope for Britain, Churchill still had the talent and power to inspire those in battle. The motivation of this speech just amazes me as he repeats never over and over again. Never, to me any way, is one of the strongest words that our language possesses. I mean think about it, theres even a saying, " Never say never." This one word is a form of forever, a form of most would say is a negative forever. In our world there is always a possibility that anything could happen which makes it appear almost foolish to say never. Yet Churchill says "NEVER give in..". The power in this one fragment of speech must have motivated these men. Churchill told them to NEVER give up no matter what, to never yield to their force. How could you not be filled with the strength to defeat even the strongest of enemies, even the Germans. This quote to me is the ideal example of what an inspiration and motivational speaker that Winston Churchill was and how he gave Britain soldiers the strength and courage to fight on and NEVER give up.
