Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest consequence.”

“I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
—Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)

“I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
