Famous quotes containing the word losing:

    Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
    Hath but a losing office, and his tongue

    Remembered tolling a departing friend.

    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    I won the battle the wrong way when our worthy Russian generals were losing it the right way.
