Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or terms:

    Flee from the press and dwell with soothfastness;
    Suffice unto thy good though it be small,
    For hoard hath hate and climbing ticklishness,
    Press hath envy and weal blent overall;
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
