Never Surrender Absolutism

"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

"“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never . . . never give in, except to convictions of honor or good sense.”"

"Churchill concluded: I am convinced that every man of you would rise up and tear me down from my place if I were for one moment to contemplate parley or surrender. If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground."

"“We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,” Churchill had vowed in June 1940. “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds . . . we shall never surrender.” His service to his country will never be forgotten, and his words will be celebrated as long as the world rolls round."
