That is a slightly altered rendition of a famous speech by Winston Churchill in which he expressed the determination of the British to defend themselves by any means necessary from the attack by Nazi Germany.
You are referring to one of three speeches made by Mr Churchill to the British House of Commons during the Battle of France, a speech that is given a variety of monikers such as "We shall never surrender...", "We shall fight on the beeches...", and so on. These speeches were instrumental in rallying the British people - and a good part of the rest of the world - to defeat Adolph Hitler and his warmongering Nazi party.

The phrase "I shall never surrender or retreat" is attributed to William B. Travis, a lieutenant colonel in the Texas Army, during the Siege of the Alamo in 1836. He wrote this statement in a letter to the people of Texas and to the United States, expressing his determination to fight against Mexican forces. Travis's words have since become emblematic of the spirit of resistance during the Texas Revolution.
"The only thing that ever really frightened me was the U-boat peril.... The Battle of the Atlantic was the dominating factor all through the war. Never for one moment could we forget that everything happening elsewhere-on land, at sea or in the air- depended ultimately on its outcome, and amid all other cares we viewed its changing fortunes day by day with hope or apprehension."
"Never, never, never, never, never give up." ~ Winston Churchill. He said this during World War II, "My people, never, never, never, never, never give up." The people got inspired. They won the war.

Winston Churchill . ~ "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, 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, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old."
