How to use in spite of in a sentence?
Sir Winston Churchill, 1940, in his first address as the newly appointed Prime Minister.:
.... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.

It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it.
