“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 honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. …
“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 [Alumni] have ever experienced; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our [College].”
Winston Churchill, speech to the Harrow School, 1941. Subtly modified as marked.
Temperance,
ReplyDeleteCould you also rework the quote "Now is the time for every good (truly Christian) man to come to the aid of their college.
As bad as this time has been a lot of people are paying attention and can be used to a "good end" in working for the college.
I fervently hope that the alumni and their interest,support, concern and prayers do not fade into the sunset but continue to help to provide a "NEW DAWNING' for the college.
