Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or ship:

    “It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “But Nature is no sentimentalist,—does not cosset or pamper us. We must see the world is rough and surly, and will not mind drowning a man or a woman; but swallows your ship like a grain of dust.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
