Famous quotes containing the word win:
“On a huge hill,
Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and he that will
Reach her, about must, and about must go;
And what the hills suddenness resists, win so;
Yet strive so, that before age, deaths twilight,
Thy Soul rest, for none can work in that night.
To will, implies delay, therefore now do:
Hard deeds, the bodys pains; hard knowledge too
The minds endeavours reach, and mysteries
Are like the Sun, dazzling, yet plain to all eyes.”
—John Donne (15721631)
“Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away ambition,
By that sin fell the angels; how can man then,
The image of his maker, hope to win by it?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.”
—Aeschylus (525456 B.C.)
