Victorious Side

Famous quotes containing the words victorious and/or side:

    That through thy prowess and victorious arms,
    Thy country may be freed from foreign harms;
    And great Elisa’s glorious name may ring
    Through all the world
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    But how do the poor minority fare? Perhaps it will be found that just in proportion as some have been placed in outward circumstances above the savage, others have been degraded below him. The luxury of one class is counterbalanced by the indigence of another. On the one side is the palace, on the other are the almshouse and “silent poor.”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
