I think the quote from the Polish Prime Minister refusing very similar German demands just before WW2 started is appropriated here:

“Peace is a precious and a desirable thing. Our generation, bloodied in wars, certainly deserves peace. But peace, like almost all things of this world, has its price, a high but a measurable one. We in Poland do not know the concept of peace at any price. There is only one thing in the lives of men, nations and countries that is without price. That thing is honor.”

As it turned out, Poland paid a very heavy price. But we're damn proud of it.
