How to never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never | Winston Churchill

Whether you are called “determined” or “stubborn” depends entirely on whether the person agrees with you.

GALLIPOLI (stubborn)

When Churchill was Secretary of the Navy during WW1 he advocated for attacking the Turkish city of Gallipoli (no relation to me, your humble writer Anthony Galli).

His 2nd in command resigned in protest, “You are bent on forcing [Gallipoli] and nothing will turn you from it — nothing. I know you so well!”

Churchill indeed forced the issue and the English attacked.

It was a disaster. One of the worst in military history. 120,000 young men died largely because of the decision of one man! Churchill’s wife, Clemente would later say, “I thought he would die from grief.”

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” — Winston Churchill
