For defeat there is only one answer... victory.

Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

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

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

On victory, you deserve beer. On defeat, you need it.

You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.
