Famous Sayings

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

- A Quote from -Sir Winston Churchill

What can we learn from this famous saying about appeasers?

Definitely sounds like a quote from whom it was attributed. Think of the nations that appeased Adolf Hitler in WW2. Hitler was the crocodile, and the appeasing country was the one that was passive and non-hostile, even signing a treaty with Hitler. Yet this did not end the croc’s hunger.

The croc is a large animal and had to come back for more. When it did, even if the last meal, was a meal nonetheless and was still eaten.

Did any good come out of such a longer life, other than prolonged worry and fear? The point here is an appeaser is useless and folly and therefore shouldn’t be.

The crocodile will still get to the appeaser even though it may take a while. A better strategy and approach is called for in order to survive.

What to do with this famous saying

Never appease anyone. Instead, either stand your ground, or ally fully, but 04are easy prey.
