A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.
William Wycherley
Books, I found, had the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future.
Jim Bishop
Christians take Scriptures out of context to try to justify or to vindicate retreat and cowardice.
Randall Terry
Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and china.
Charles Dickens
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.
Napoleon Hill
Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die.
Mary Matalin
Follow me if I advance! Kill me if I retreat! Revenge me if I die!
Ngo Dinh Diem
I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!
William Lloyd Garrison
I can understand how some people might resent me for having the audacity to continue playing music, but it'd take a lot more than that to stop me from doing it. I started Foo Fighters because I didn't want to retreat.

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.

I, Philip Kearny, an old soldier, enter my solemn protest against this order for retreat.
Philip Kearny
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mary McCarthy
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Joseph Stalin
It is madness to attempt to hold. In the first place the troops cannot do it and in the second place if they do not retreat they will be destroyed. I repeat that this order be rescinded or that you find someone else.
Gerd von Rundstedt
It makes no difference if I burn my bridges behind me - I never retreat.
