"A Pyrrhic victory."
Something from history to think about because it can apply to Stars game.
Pyrrhus was a famous leader. In one situation, he was fighting against the expanding power of the Romans. He won costly victories, but his side grew weaker and the Romans kept coming. A famous quote after one big battle:
| Quote: |
When someone congratulated Pyrrhus on this victory [279 B.C.], he said: "One more victory like this will be the end of me."

It is possible to win the battles but lose the war. You can grow weak, while your opponent keeps growing.
Interesting to read the whole history of Pyrrhus, his many victories and how he didn't really get anywheres in the end. (You can search the internet)
