don't go for that Pyrrhic.

"Ne ego si iterum eodem modo uicero, sine ullo milite Epirum reuertar."



" theologian Reinhold Niebuhr commented on the necessity of coercion in preserving the course of justice by warning:



"Moral reason must learn how to make coercion its ally
 without running the risk of a Pyrrhic victory 
in which the ally
 exploits and negates
 the triumph.

— Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr


 "related expression is "winning the battle but losing the war". This describes a poor strategy that wins a lesser objective but overlooks and loses the larger objective.

A "hollow victory" or "empty victory" is one in which the victor gains little or nothing Examples include:

In a murder trial, where a guilty verdict brings justice for the victim, but the family is still bereft.

A court-martial clears an officer of blame in a military accident, but the death and damage cannot be undone.

A civil case is decided in favor of the plaintiff, but the awarded amount of money or property is less than was spent to bring the lawsuit.

Victory in a battle or war which, by winning, caused additional problems in the future.

A campaign that did not achieve its goals despite the claims of victory"
