Famous quotes containing the words banner, fight and/or record:

But there is a strong distinction between different degress in the same thing and a mixture of two contraries.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“I write with one hand, but I fight with both.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
