Famous quotes containing the word win:
“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fools in tears,
When she believes Ill leave her.
Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (16701729)
“Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of ones will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.”
—Paul Gauguin (18481903)
“And whats he then that says I play the villain,
When this advice is free I give, and honest,
Probal to thinking, and indeed the course
To win the Moor again?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
