Competition Won

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or won:

“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”

“Passing away, saith the World, passing away:
Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:
Thy life never continueth in one stay.
Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray
That hath won neither laurel nor bay?”
