"But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: 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.

Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished.

All this tradition of ours, our songs, our School history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.

Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part.
