On the quote: never give in, never, never, never

You may be familiar with parts of this quote:

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.

The source of the quote is here and was given by Winston Churchill on October 29, 1941 to an audience at Harrow School.

It is often abused and misused. For example:

WRONG. 🙂

Never give IN.

So too is the reframing of events at the end of his speech: “These are not dark days; these are great days”. How we rise to the occasion on dark days can transform them into great days.
