The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat.

I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

George Bernard Shaw
