Famous quotes containing the words gaining and/or popularity:
“So we see
That all things change, one nation gaining strength
While others perish.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“The nation looked upon him as a deserter, and he shrunk into insignificancy and an earldom.... He was fixed in the house of lords, that hospital of incurables, and his retreat to popularity was cut off; for the confidence of the public, when once great and once lost, is never to be regained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
