Never Give Up

決して諦めない (kesshite akiramenai)

The Japanese phrase 決して諦めない is composed of the word 決して (read kesshite) which in this case means "absolutely; decidedly" and the verb 諦めない (read akiramenai) which is the negative of 諦める (read akirameru) meaning to "Give Up" - so the direct translation is "absolutely do not give up".
