A SIX WORD LESSON? A FAMOUS SPEECH:

Sir Winston Churchill speaks at Oxford the University Commencement.

As the great statesman addresses the graduates, he steps to the podium, leans on his elbows, looks at the

student body, and says:

NEVER GIVE UP! --- the crowd raises to their feet and applauds.

Mr. Churchill pauses, looks around the crowd, and says:

NEVER GIVE UP --- he gets another STANDING OVATION

The great leader looks at the crowd and returns to his seat.

This man had known one of the worse wars of history, and his words were NEVER GIVE UP!
