3 the last ditch
In fact, he was heard to say that he did not enjoy going into any project unless, there was some opposition, and as everything was fair in love and war, he was prepared to oppose the Drake interests to the last ditch. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Stoic’, ch. 51) — Каупервуд, по слухам, сказал, что ему неинтересно браться за дело, в котором не с кем помериться силами, а коль скоро в любви и на войне все средства хороши, он решил сражаться с Дрейком до конца.

5 not the only pebble on the beach
≈ на этом (на нём, на ней и т. д.) свет клином не сошёлсяBoanerges: "...Though as an old Republican I have no respect for the Majesty as a King, I have a great respect for him as a Strong Man. But he is not the only pebble on the beach. Why not have done with this superstition of monarchy, and bring the British Commonwealth into line with all the other great Powers today as a republic?" (B. Shaw, ‘The Apple Cart’, act II) — Бонерджес: "...Хотя, как старый республиканец, я не испытываю уважения к его величеству как к королю, я уважаю его как сильного человека.
