Famous quotes containing the word antagonists:
“There is a persuasion in the soul of man that he is here for cause, that he was put down in this place by the Creator to do the work for which he inspires him, that thus he is an overmatch for all antagonists that could combine against him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
