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

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.

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

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won.
