| Jun 28, 2023 at 21:05 | comment | added | Filip Milovanović | Is it perhaps the "to" that confuses you? It's related to "give in": you can "give in to something" (as in "accept or stop resisting against something"). So the statement is something like — and I'm going to use parentheses to now to group words together — "never give in, except when giving in to ((convictions of honour) & (good sense))" | |
