“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.”

“Le monde est un champ de bataille ; nous devons combattre et gagner.”

“. . . 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 with 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.”

“There are many victories worse than a defeat.”

“Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
