Victories

Famous quotes containing the word victories:

    “... Knowledge he shall unwind
    Through victories of the mind,
    Till, clambering at the cradle-side,
    He dreams himself his mother’s pride,
    All knowledge lost in trance
    Of sweeter ignorance.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And, “Better defeat almost,
    If seen clear,
    Than life’s victories of doubt
    That need endless talk-talk
    To make them out.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
