Famous quotes containing the words battles and, battles, engagements, western and/or front:

    To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquillity in our conduct.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics,
    Of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest
    remains?
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The front aspect of great thoughts can only be enjoyed by those who stand on the side whence they arrive.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
