Jerusalem Perseverance Quotes

The speaker clearly intends to take action and do what needs to be done. He illustrates his intent to persevere by using anaphora. The speaker continues to use the same word. He perseveres in his word choice, you could say, and intends to achieve his goal.

This is a very strong statement about the speaker's perseverance. He will not cease. It's not that he'll try not to cease, or he'll probably not cease, or he might not cease, but that he will not cease.
