Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” This quote was delivered in a speech at Harrow School on October 29th, 1941, during World War II. It became a rallying cry for Britain and a timeless source of inspiration. New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist
