triumph Quotes

Quote:A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.[Samuel Johnson]

Quote:Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.[Oscar Wilde]

Quote:The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.[Thomas Paine]

Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt]

Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt]

Quote:I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.[Martin Luther King Jr.]

Quote:Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.[Henry Mencken]

Let his opponents keep calling him stupid; if they do, within five years Bush will be King of England, the Pope, and world Formula One motor racing champion.[Tim Blair]

Quote:If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.[Thomas Wolfe]

Quote:All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. [Edmund Burke]

Quote:There are some defeats more triumphant than victories. [Michel de Montaigne]

Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]
