Defeat Quotes
-
Some Englishmen, of whom Kitchener was chief, believed that a rebellion of Arabs against Turks would enable England, while fighting Germany, simultaneously to defeat Turkey.

So they allowed it to begin.

Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual.
