Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll 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 (1670–1729)

“I was going to get myself recognized at any price. ...If I could not win fame by goodness, I was ready to do it by badness. ...”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

“You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil; buy it, by compromise with evil.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
