Famous quotes containing the word greatest:

    “The greatest dangers have their allurements, if the want of success is likely to be attended with a degree of glory. Middling dangers are horrid, when the loss of reputation is the inevitable consequence of ill success.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
