Victory Quotes - page 43

[I]t makes no sense whatsoever to call the perpetrators of the Holocaust 'the Germans' if by that is meant that the German victims of Naziism – including many Jews who went on regarding themselves as Germans to the end of the line – somehow weren't Germans at all. That's what the Nazis thought, and to echo their harebrained typology is to concede them their victory. (Clive James)
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. View quote
Walter Cronkite
People don't like to talk about victory and defeat anymore. View quote
John R. Bolton
Like a lawyer, the human brain wants victory, not truth; and, like a lawyer, it is sometimes more admirable for skill than virtue. View quote
Robert Wright
If, in the middle of World War II, a general could be writing a poem, then maybe I was not so irrelevant after all. Maybe the general was doing more for victory by writing a poem than he would be by commanding an army. At least, he might be doing less harm. View quote
Robert Penn Warren
Politics is never a victory, it's just the remorseless grinding forward of events. View quote
Robert Harris (novelist)
In victory, the hero seeks the glory, not the prey. View quote

Silius Italicus
Opportunities are running out, and this is the do-or-die situation when the ball is in your hands, and you can either help your team to victory or not. And so I want to be in those situations. I think about them, and almost look forward to them. View quote
Eli Manning
Pursue not a victory too far. He hath conquered well that hath made his enemy fly thou mayest beat him to a desperate resistance, which may ruin thee. View quote
George Herbert
Money is the fuel that makes political victory possible. Sadly, folks, in many cases it's more important than ideas. And this is what turns off so many people to politics. (Rush Limbaugh)
Once upon a time our traditional goal in war and can anyone doubt that we are at war? - was victory. Once upon a time we were proud of our strength, our military power. Now we seem ashamed of it. Once upon a time the rest of the world looked to us for leadership. Now they look to us for a quick handout and a fence-straddling international posture. View quote
Barry Goldwater
The victory belonged to those who knew their planes and weapons inside out and had the initiative. View quote
Ivan Kozhedub
It will be a long and bitter road to victory, but victory there will be, and with it the U.S. will have gained the world prestige she long ago should have earned. View quote
Nile Kinnick
Right now the Jews are still surrounded by enemies who are sworn to their death as a nation. Their only hope is to turn to God with their whole heart, and if they obey Him, they will have victory. Only time will tell us if they have learned anything from history. View quote
Ray Comfort
Israel will never have lasting peace until she obeys God. If she will obey His statutes and keep His commandments, He will give her rain in due season, an abundance of food, freedom from fear, victory over the enemy, and peace within the land (Leviticus 26:1-13). View quote
Ray Comfort
A decade and a half after victory in the Cold War and end-of-history triumphalism, the "what do you leave behind" question is more urgent than most of us expected. The Western world, as a concept, is dead and the West, as a matter of demographic fact, is dying. View quote
Mark Steyn
It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact. View quote
George Orwell
Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother. View quote
George Orwell
Do not get elated at any victory, for all such victory is subject to the will of God. View quote
Abu Bakr
The call of the gospel is for the church to implement the victory of God in the world through suffering love. (N.T. Wright)
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 know neither victory nor defeat. View quote
Theodore Roosevelt
A book, a book full of human touches, of shirts, a book without loneliness, with men and tools, a book is victory. View quote
Pablo Neruda
It must be a peace without victory... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last. View quote
Woodrow Wilson
It is important to remind young people that peace is the only victory. View quote
Scarlett Johansson
