A Quote by Monica Crowley

Give the enemy an inch, he'll take a yard. — © Monica Crowley
Give the enemy an inch, he'll take a yard.
Give the enemy an inch, hell take a yard.
Mile by mile, it's a trial; yard by yard, it's hard; but inch by inch, it's a cinch.
Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life's hard.
The generals have a saying: "Rather than make the first move it is better to wait and see. Rather than advance an inch it is better to retreat a yard." This is called going forward without advancing, pushing back without using weapons. There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your enemy. Underestimating your enemy means thinking that he is evil. Thus you destroy your three treasures and become an enemy yourself. When two great forces oppose each other, the victory will go to the one that knows how to yield.
Every inch of ground we refuse to take with God, we surrender to the enemy.
Make incremental progress, change comes not by the yard, but by the inch.
An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of complaint.
That was only a yard away from being an inch-perfect pass.
I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.
When you give the government an inch, they take a mile.
The enemy of the black is not the white. The enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of Jew is not Arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of Chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. We all have the same enemy. The enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. The enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.
I will compensate all your one-inch, two-inch losses because I know how important every inch is to you aged, decrepit men.
Leave part of the yard rough. Don't manicure everything. Small children in particular love to turn over rocks and find bugs, and give them some space to do that. Take your child fishing. Take your child on hikes.
Take the word for it of a man who has made his way inch by inch, and does not believe that we'll wake up to find our work done because we've lain all night a-dreaming of it; anything worth doing is devilish hard to do!
It's not always going to be there; every play is not going to be a 40-yard gain. You just have to take what they give you. When the opportunity comes, you have to split it and make them pay for it.
