The worst mistake that a statesman can make is to promise victory and to see it dashed, the hopes dashed.
He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Without victory there is no survival!
There is only one answer to defeat and that is victory.
Victory is not final. Defeat is not failure. It's all about courage.
No compromise with the main purpose, no peace till victory, no pact with unrepentant wrong.
Victory will never be found by taking the path of least resistance.
Victory is only wrested by running risks.
Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.
Victory is the beautiful, bright-colored flower. Transport is the stem without which it could never have blossomed.
The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the occupied territories, and a portent of the fate awaiting the Nazi tyranny.
You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.
Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.
Indomitable in retreat, invincible in advance; insufferable in victory.
