My father always quoted this speech to my brothers, sister and I as children. It stayed with me and I never forgot it. Little did I know that the reason it always stuck with me was because it would become my mantra, my source of inspiration through two long tedious battles with breast cancer at 28 & 35. Now at 38, It my favorite quote on my FB page and it will forever be my battle cry as not just a survivor but an over-comer of breast cancer...I will NEVER, NEVER give up!

You don't have to be a world leader to have 'Never give up' as your slogan. I'm an obscure housewife who has lived by that dictum and achieved great things because of it.

The world needs more leaders like this man.

Thanks in no small part to Churchill's tenacity, strength, and unwavering moral clarity, the rest of the world was freed from the boot of the dictator. He was truly a statesman's statesman.

Commitment is an attribute that every person needs. It's something that shows a person's true character. (Winston Churchill is my hero)

I was driving home from Los Angeles to San Diego, depressed that my business idea wasn't working. I said to myself, “I give up”! Two minutes later I saw this billboard. It brought tears to my eyes. I didn't give up!

This picture really impacted me. After attending a community college for a number of years longing to be a music student, I finally got accepted to the London Royal Academy of Music to study vocal performance. This was my life dream and, I thought, financially unattainable. One day I was really feeling down about it, and that is when I saw good old Churchill on a billboard. “Never, never, never give up” not in anything, great or small...the words started coming back to me. Then I realized here is an Englishman who has seen tougher times than I, who says I can't do this? I almost felt like he personally was encouraging me to come to his country. This billboard affected me dramatically indeed.

As a 40 year old nursing student with four children, I pass this billboard on my way back from an hour long commute home from school. I pray that the billboard stays on Rte. 8 in Waterbury, CT at least until I graduate in May 2009. It was my special quote long before the billboard went up. It was on a bookmark I bought when I started nursing school. It also inspires my friend and classmate who travels with me. She is 21 and came to our country only 8 years ago, speaking no English she excelled in high school and is one of the nursing programs youngest and brightest. See what happens when you never give up?

As a special education teacher this Winston Churchill quote has particular meaning to my students and me. When I explained the Blitzkrieg and the relentless nightly bombings of English citizens, my students gained a different perspective of their own personal challenges.

About This Billboard

Winston Spencer Churchill was born on November 30, 1874, in England. He served in the British Army until 1899. The following year, Churchill began his long career in the government.

Churchill was elected to various positions for the next several years. After the beginning of World War II, Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. In early May, the former Prime Minister of England resigned and Churchill was appointed to the position by King George VI. England's army suffered many losses early on and Churchill faced a great deal of criticism. But one of the major contributions he made to eventual victory was his ability to inspire the British people to greater effort by making public broadcasts on significant occasions. A brilliant orator, he was a tireless source of strength to people experiencing the sufferings of the German bombing campaign.

On October 29, 1941, Churchill made a speech at Harrow School which he attended as a youth. Part of the speech included the line, "Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." He also used the phrase, "Never, never, never give up" in his personal writing and correspondence.

Churchill lost his bid for re-election in 1945 and shortly thereafter suffered his first stroke. He remained active in politics, returning to the Prime Minister position in 1951, until his health forced him to retire in 1956. Throughout his life he was an avid writer and even won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Sir Winston Churchill passed away on January 24, 1965.
