Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or claims:
“It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victors 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 (18561924)
“For that is loves nature that it lays claim to exclusive right and that all other claims are nil.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (17491832)
