Famous quotes containing the word defeated:
“I have defeated them all.... I was left with some money to battle with the world when quite young, and at the present time have much to feel proud of.... The Lord gave me talent, and I know I have done good with it.... For my brains have made me quite independent and without the help of any man.”

“Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.”
—Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)
“The poet is he who fights on the passionate
Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....”
