Examples from texts

On the other hand there were extreme discomfort and danger, for these people would give you no rest, would observe no rules of war, and were desperately earnest in their desire by hook or by crook to do you an injury.
С другой стороны, это было крайне хлопотно и опасно, потому что они не давали нам ни минуты покоя, не соблюдали законов ведения войны и были полны решимости донять нас не мытьем, так катаньем.

She wanted to tell him that he mustn't stand there, getting wet, because she'd changed her mind they were going to live, by hook or by crook but she daren't.

This is remarkable in a country that for as long as anyone remembers has been ruled, by hook or by crook, by a reactionary oligarchy.
Особенно примечателен тот факт, что это произошло в стране, где, как любой из нас помнит, всеми правдами и неправдами всегда правила реакционная олигархия.
