Winston Churchill famously said that “jaw jaw is better than war war”

He allegedly said this in 1954, according to someone who claimed to hear him say it at some dinner. Many years after the Allies soundly defeated the Axis in "war war."

Actually, though Goldwater is famous for that quote (and should have been lauded for it, not hammered by the left as he was), it was taken by Goldwater's speechwriter from an ancient Roman source whose name I cannot recall.

To be honest, I had no idea. It came to mind as I read Marsden's Dhimmi drivel & I had to look up who had said it. A Roman, eh?

Good start. Here's another:
"If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
