Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

“Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

“You want to win him over to your side? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and ... you don’t win the favor of the ancient gods by being good, but by being bold.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
