Victory Quotes
	Mark Alexander	Chief among the spoils of victory is the privilege of writing the history.
	Henri Frederic Amiel	Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means to push back a boundary-line and adding to one's liberty.
	Bruno Bettelheim	This is exactly the message that fairy tales get across to the child in manifold form: that a struggle against severe difficulties in life is unavoidable, is an intrinsic part of human existence -- but that if one does not shy away, but steadfastly meets unexpected and often unjust hardships, one masters all obstacles and at the end emerges victorious.
	Napoleon Bonaparte	I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest.
	William Cullen Bryant	Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again.

	Lydia M. Child	England may as well dam up the waters of the Nile with bulrushes as to fetter the step of Freedom, more proud and firm in this youthful land than where she treads the sequestered glens of Scotland, or couches herself among the magnificent mountains of Switzerland.
	Sir Winston Churchill	We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
	Sir Winston Churchill	I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory -- victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
	Sir Winston Churchill	I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
	Sir Winston Churchill	Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.  But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
	Sir Winston Churchill	Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: 'We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.'
	Marcus Tullius Cicero	Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
	Marcus Tullius Cicero	Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
	Marcus Tullius Cicero	Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.

	Frederick Douglass	What is possible for me is possible for you.
	Max Eastman	The real guarantee of freedom is an equilibrium of social forces in conflict, not the triumph of any one force.
	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	Yes! to this thought I hold with firm persistence;\\ The last result of wisdom stamps it true;\\ He only earns his freedom and existence\\ Who daily conquers them anew.
	Ulysses S. Grant	The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.
	B. H. Liddell Hart	The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing commanders, not in the bodies of their men.
	B. H. Liddell Hart	In strategy the longest way round is often the shortest way there; a direct approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by compression, whereas an indirect approach loosens the defender's hold by upsetting his balance.
	Friedrich August von Hayek	The ultimate decision about what is accepted as right and wrong will be made not by individual human wisdom but by the disappearance of the groups that have adhered to the "wrong" beliefs.
	Patrick Henry	It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
	Adolf Hitler	Being daily better informed about their knowledge than my adversaries themselves, I argued till finally one day they applied the one means that wins the easiest victory over reason: terror and force.
	Adolf Hitler	The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
	Horace	And when all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy is Warre; which provideth for every man, by Victory, or Death.
	Tokugawa Ieyasu	To come to know your enemy, first you must become his friend, and once you become his friend, all his defences come down. Then you can choose the most fitting method for his demise.
	Thomas Jefferson	What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.
	Thomas Jefferson	[T]he flames kindled on the Fourth of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.
	John F. Kennedy	Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
	John F. Kennedy	I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics but for our contributions to the human spirit.
	Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
	Martin Luther	The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good.
	General Douglas MacArthur	In war there is no substitute for victory.
	Nelson Mandela	Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them.
	William Marcy	When they are contending for victory, they avow their intention of enjoying the fruits of it. ... They see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victor belongs the spoils.
	Bob McEwen	Now the truth of the matter is, there is nothing wrong with this country. Please. The message I want to leave with you is that there's nothing wrong with this country that the proper leadership won't cure. We've been here before. In 1787, the economy of our nation was in absolute chaos and as a consequence, they met in Philadelphia to form a new country, and when they did, they did the right things, and in the second State of the Union address, which was written at that time by George Washington, he said the foundations, the economic foundations of our nation are on such sound footing that it would have been a madman would have suspected 3 years ago. The fact is that the chaos that they're creating doesn't mean that America can or has to be in decline. It means that we need to remove them as rapidly as possible and get people that know what to do and America will continue to climb.
	General George S. Patton, Jr.	I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
	Wendell Phillips	Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
	Wendell Phillips	Liberty knows nothing but victories. Soldiers call Bunker Hill a defeat; but liberty dates from it though Warren lay dead on the field.
	Jeannette Rankin	You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
	Theodore Roosevelt	If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.
	Theodore Roosevelt	It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
	Babe Ruth	You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
	Eric Schaub	By a Declaration, Liberty is born. With Courage she is nourished, and with unceasing Commitment she is guarded.
	Felix E. Schelling	True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality, the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of talent, of genius; for inequality, not mediocrity, individual superiority, not standardization, is the measure of the progress of the world.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Unjust rule never abides continually.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Once again prosperous and successful crime goes by the name of virtue; good men obey the bad, might is right and fear oppresses law.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
	Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Virtue alone affords everlasting and peace-giving joy; even if some obstacle arise, it is but like an intervening cloud, which floats beneath the sun but never prevails against it.
	Tecumseh	Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.\\ Trouble no one about his religion.\\ Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours.\\ Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.\\ Seek to make your life long and of service to your people.\\ Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.\\ Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.\\ Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.\\ When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. \\ Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.\\ Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.\\ When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.\\ Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
	Mark Twain	In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
