Peace and Dishonor
After the English Parliament’s 1938 appeasement of Hitler in Czechoslovakia, Winston Churchill saw the danger of choosing peace when honor and common sense called for battle. “You have been given the choice between peace and dishonor.” he said. “You have chosen dishonor, and you will have war!”
History confirmed his prophetic warning.
Refusing to fight an honorable battle may afford a temporary peace, but in the long run it’s too costly. Delaying a necessary battle may well result in a devastating, full-scale war.
