{{quote|"The War. The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it; They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones, and then throw themselves without fear or hesitation at the very face of death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns, when they ran out guns they used knives and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for ''two years''. They never ran out of courage but, in the end, they ran out of time."|'''Lando Mollari''', ''Babylon 5''}} |

Nia: "The likelihood of my return is close to zero." |
"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
|
Dr. Destiny: "But you're different. You don't have any special powers." |
"Even when trapped by Karma's cycle," —The Dai Gurren Dan, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
|
"The War. The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it; They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones, and then throw themselves without fear or hesitation at the very face of death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns, when they ran out guns they used knives and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage but, in the end, they ran out of time."
—Lando Mollari, Babylon 5
|
"Never give up, never surrender!"
—Commander Taggart, Galaxy Quest
|
The Baroness: "He gave up!" |
He won't give in without a fight, and he won't give in.
—Herman Cain show promo
|
"It doesn't matter how many times I get knocked down. What matters is how many times I get back up!"
—"Diamond" Dallas Page, WCW Monday Nitro
|
"Give up? General Specific never says 'I give up!'. Uh... except as an example of what I never say!"
—General Specific, Sheep in The Big City
|
...whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...
—Sir Winston Churchill, Speech to the House of Commons of the British Parliament, 4 June 1940
|
"... 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 honour, and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
|
"Fine! Bring it on, then! I'll show you whose mind is the strongest! I will not yield an inch of my future!"
—Miyo Takano, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
|
"He's like the Energizer bunny, a Rolex watch, and Jackie Chan mixed together."
—Xykon, The Order of the Stick
|
"No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise."
—Rorschach, Watchmen
|
"I don't like to lose."
—Admiral James T. Kirk, Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan
|
I'll face it with a grin —Queen, "The Show Must Go On"
|
Kyouko: "I thought she'd be here. She sucks at giving up after all." |
No rest. No mercy. No matter what.
—Akroma, Magic: The Gathering
|
FALL SEVEN TIMES. STAND UP EIGHT.
|
Sunday: What the hell did your father tell you to make you try so damn hard?? |
"Never give up! Never give in! Won't stop believing cause I'm gonna win!"
—Spirit Never Dies, Masterplan
|
Tentacle Monster: "Is that your super-power, boy? Too stupid to ever give up?" —Countdown to Final Crisis, proving that even the most terrible series can get it right
|
Parallax: Give up! —Green Lantern: Rebirth
|
You know those stories where the vor lord gives his daughter's suitor three impossible tasks? Never do that to Miles. |
Why are you alive? Why do you stand up to me every time I kill you?...How many times do I have to kill you until you're satisfied!?
—Sir Crocodile, One Piece
|
Porque ele é brasileiro e não desiste nunca. —A series of advertisements on brazilian television
|
Badasses, much like the Goonies, never say die. To that end, they never say diet, and their color recognition vocabulary is limited to just six words. They don't flinch, cry, hesitate, show fear, or act like they notice when it's raining. Even if it's raining really, really hard. Nothing bothers them, nobody stands in their way, and they refuse to yield when the situation is ten light-years beyond hopeless. No matter what the odds are, they won't accept anything less than victory at all costs.
|
"You may win the occasional victory against us, Vorrik, but I promise you: the Empire will always strike back."
—Gilad Pellaeon, Force Heretic I: Remnant
|
Kane: Do you ever give up? —Stargate SG-1, Ethon

Without arrogance or the smallest deviation from truth it may be said that no history now extant can furnish an instance of an army's suffering such uncommon hardships as ours has done, and bearing them with the same patience and fortitude. To see men, without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie on, without shoes, by which their marches might be traced by blood from their feet, and almost as often without provisions as with them, marching through the frost and snow, and at Christmas taking up their winter-quarters within a day's march of the enemy, without a house or hut to cover them, till they could be built, and submitting to it without a murmur, is a proof of patience and obedience, which in my opinion can scarce be paralleled.
