Attack

Famous quotes containing the word attack:

    I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    Scandal is an importunate wasp, against which we must make no movement unless we are quite sure that we can kill it; otherwise it will return to the attack more furious than ever.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    Remote and ineffectual Don
    That dared attack my Chesterton.
    Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)
