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." -- Winston Churchill

Emiliano Zapata of Mexico said it better:
It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Churchill, a visionary man - I hope the majority of our leaders, present and future, comprehend and act on that particular gem. Thanks for the quote.
