Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or ship:

    “For by superior energies; more strict
    Affiance in each other; faith more firm
    In their unhallowed principles, the bad
    Have fairly earned a victory o’er the weak,
    The vacillating, inconsistent good.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Only one ship is seeking us a black- Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
    A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
    No waters breed or break.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
