Must We Go to War? (1937)
Context: The war method substitutes the doctrine of necessity for ethical ideals.... That is right which contributes to victory; that is wrong which magnifies the threat of defeat.
“There is no substitute for victory.”
Letter to Representative Joseph W. Martin, Jr., (20 March 1951); read to the House by Martin on April 5.
Variant: In war there is no substitute for victory.
Context: It seems strangely difficult for some to realize that here in Asia is where the Communist conspirators have elected to make their play for global conquest, and that we have joined the issue thus raised on the battlefield; that here we fight Europe’s war with arms while the diplomats there still fight it with words; that if we lose the war to communism in Asia the fall of Europe is inevitable, win it and Europe most probably would avoid war and yet preserve freedom. As you pointed out, we must win. There is no substitute for victory.

“I like nature but not its substitutes. Naturalist art, illusionism, is a substitute for nature.”
Hans Arp (1886–1966) Alsatian, sculptor, painter, poet and abstract artist

Context: I like nature but not its substitutes. Naturalist art, illusionism, is a substitute for nature. I remember that in arguing with Piet Mondrian [in Paris, 1920's], he opposed art to nature saying that art is artificial and nature is natural. I do not share this opinion. I do not think that nature is in natural opposition to art. Art's origins are natural.
