| … I had dinner with another English friend, now a banker, who had been a student at Harrow when its most famous alumnus, Winston Churchill, came back to the school to speak to the boys. He was a great man, and everyone knew why. He had carried the Western world through its worst crisis. | |
| Now he looked out over the fresh-faced audience and said, “Never give up. Never give up. Never, never, never give up.” It brought the house to its feet. | |
| What Churchill was saying was this: You can act cleverly, selfishly or prudently in any situation, but what finally matters is character, desire and faith. Victory never comes easy. | |
