Famous quotes containing the words keeping, left and/or takes:

    Soldiering, my dear madam, is the coward’s art of attacking mercilessly when you are strong, and keeping out of harm’s way when you are weak. That is the whole secret of successful fighting. Get your enemy at a disadvantage; and never, on any account, fight him on equal terms.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Wealth brings many friends, but the poor are left friendless.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 19:4.

    I love all men who dive. Any fish can swim near the surface, but it takes a great whale to go down stairs five miles or more; & if he don’t attain the bottom, why, all the lead in Galena can’t fashion the plummet that will.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
