Victory Base

Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or base:

“It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, 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 the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
