Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.

You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.

No compromise with the main purpose; no peace till victory; no pact with unrepentant wrong.

We must be very careful not to assign this deliverance the attributes of a victory.

In War: Resolution. In Defeat: Defiance. In Victory: Magnanimity. In Peace: Good Will.

The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.
