Appeasement doesn't make the bad guys go away, it merely emboldens them.

It may go back to English Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain whose policy of appeasement allowed Hitler to annex parts of Czechoslovakia in the assumption that he would not invade England. All it did was delay the inevitable start of World War II.

Who said the quote curiosity killed the cat?

The original quote was actually "care killed the cat". It is believed to be an early reference to a cat having 9 lives.The origin of the quote is disputed between two English playwrights and a Scottish writer.Ben Johnson's play called "Every Man in His Humour" written in 1598, used the original quote. The quote was: "Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, up-tails all, and a pox on the hangman".The second claim is that is came from Shakespeare's play, "Much ado about nothing", written in 1599. The quote was: "What, courage man! what though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care."Both plays were released to the public around the same time. Later, a Scottish writer called James Allan Mair wrote a book about British proverbs in 1873. In error, he wrote the quote as "curiosity killed the cat" instead of "care killed the cat".So, as you can see, the origin of this quote is a difficult one to pinpoint.

What did Winston Churchill mean by saying An appeaser is one who feeds crocodile hoping it will last?

Well, when Winston Churchill said that, he meant that trying to satisfy a dangerous enemy in the hopes of avoiding conflict is like feeding a crocodile and hoping it will be satisfied and not harm you. It's a metaphor for the dangers of giving in to aggression and not standing up for what you believe in. It's important to be strong and firm in the face of threats, just like painting a bold line on your canvas.
