Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

“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 suspect victims; they win in the long run.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“Will, when speaking well can’t win her,
Saying nothing do’t?
Prithee, why so mute?”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
