Could anyone prove or disprove the following inequality:
||x||_{p}\leq||x||_{p'} for all x\in\mathbb{R}^{n} if p'>p\geq1?
By the way, this is not a homework problem.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Where is the problem from?

This a problem that I was curious about, because we know that ||x||_{m}\leq||x||_{1} for any positive integer m, and then I wondered if it is true for any p\geq1.
But it would be great if one can show the following:
||x||_{p}\leq||x||_{1} for p\geq1,
so could anyone help me on this?

\|x\|^p_p = \sum_i{|x_i|^p} \leq \left( \sum_i{(|x_i|)} \right)^p = \|x\|_1^p
Though I am very dizzy right now, it should be OK where I used a^2+b^2 \leq (a+b)^2, a,b > 0
