Freedom is best, I tell thee true, of all things to be won. (William Wallace)
My favorite athletes of any Olympics are always the African distance runners. You never have to drug test an African distance runner. "Are you on drugs?" "No, I'm looking for food." And I'm sure in Kenya they have a chicken that can run a sub 2-hour marathon.... One of my favorite runners of all time was Abebe Bikila. He was an Ethiopian distance runner and he won the Rome Olympics [marathon] running barefoot. He was then sponsored by Adidas. He ran the next Olympics, he carried the fuckin' shoes. No performance enhancement there. View quote
Robin Williams
The war for freedom will never really be won because the price of freedom is constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government. View quote
Eleanor Roosevelt
There's many lost but, tell me, who has won? View quote
Bono
The decisive question, therefore, always remains: How does one obtain a majority for one's own party? This, however, is a purely intellectual matter. It is a victory that can be won only with the weapons of the intellect, never by force. View quote
Ludwig von Mises
In a war, no matter the outcome of a certain skirmish or battle, the winner is the party whose attitudes, behaviors and preoccupations come to dominate the postwar landscape. By this measure, the outcome of the gender wars, if wars they were, is clear: women won. View quote
Marcus Buckingham
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. View quote
Aristotle
The Capitalist system is a highly adaptable entity. And so it isn't surprising that alternative spaces and forms of living provided interesting ideas that could be milked and marketed. So certain structural features of these "indie" movement outputs were suddenly highly acclaimed, applied and copy-pasted into capitalist developing laboratories. These qualities fit best into the tendency in which -- by the end of the seventies -- bourgeois society started to update and re-launch using the experiences gained through countercultural projects. Mainstream harvested the knowledge that was won in these projects and used it. Normalizing dissent. View quote
Johannes Grenzfurthner
A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S. View quote
Noam Chomsky
I was never ruined but twice once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one. View quote
Voltaire
You can't possibly care about debt relief and the Simpsons. If you listen to Ligeti and James Macmillan then why would you want to know who won the United game last night or which Cabernet Sauvignon to drink with your meal tonight? Get back into your box. Something else missing from the Times of 1968 was anything to do with the home or emotional life. There is nothing about marriage, divorce, children, schools, au pairs, depression, drinking, health, drugs, teenagers, affairs, fashion, sex, successful relationships, failing relationships, interior decor, cancer, infertility, faith, grandparents - or any of the other things that make up the texture of our non-working lives. (Alan Rusbridger)
Simple and brave, his faith awoke Ploughmen to struggle with their fate; Armies won battles when he spoke, And out of Chaos sprang the state. View quote
Robert Bridges
A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course. A lot of guys can go out and hit a golf ball, but they have no idea how to manage what they do with the ball. I've won as many golf tournaments hitting the ball badly as I have hitting the ball well. View quote
Jack Nicklaus
I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles. View quote
Pete Sampras
After I went through two years of not winning an event, what kept me going was winning one more major. Once I won that last U.S. Open, I spent the next six months trying to figure out what was next. Slowly my passion for the sport just vanished. I had nothing left to prove. View quote
Pete Sampras
You know, there were 29 Democratic votes for censure in the Senate. And if the Republicans had any sense, they would have censured him before the '98 midterm election, and they would have won the election. View quote
Chris Matthews
I won this award for keeping my mouth shut, so I think I'll do it again now. View quote
Jane Wyman
The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done; The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won; He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day, In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play. View quote
Henry van Dyke
[On its Oscar entry]It was very shocking for me because a movie called Black had released and I was working with Rani for a movie called Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. It was New York, very cold, raining, and Rani came running, saying, "Shah, Shah, we got nominated, we got nominated!" And I thought she was talking about Black-and Rani's very close to me, one of my best, bestest friends- and she came and hugged me and I said congratulations because one thought she was talking about Black. Because Paheli hadn't fared very well commercially, though it was very close to my heart. Suddenly she said, "No, no, no, Paheli has won!" And everyone -Karan [Johar] was there- said, "No, no don't joke, don't hurt him like this." And we were really shocked. View quote
Shahrukh Khan
I've won many awards and I want more. If you want to call it hunger then I'm hungry for awards. View quote
Shahrukh Khan
The communists have lost the cold war, but the west has not yet won it. (Richard Nixon)
I cannot think of a single answer that I made in the years that I argued before the Court while Justice White sat on it that seemed to satisfy him. While I won a number of cases that I argued before him, and he voted for my side in most of them, I never had the sense that anything I said pleased him. White, a former All-American running back (whose much-repeated college nickname, Whizzer, was one that appalled him), was no fan of press claims for broad First Amendment protection. He invariably asked questions that were both pointed and powerful. View quote
Byron White
When we train men for war, we lose some part of every man we train -- even if we win the war. When we train men to be better nurturers, even men who fail the course will have won. And so will every child they ever meet. Training men to love is a nation's best investment. View quote
Warren Farrell
You're the captain. Get over the helm and start steering. Take control. There's something going on here you can he a part of. You don't have to see this thing run up on coral reefs, one time after another after another after another. This one is all yours. You've got it. And the clock is running. And it's going to stop, invariably. But right now, you're alive. Enjoy. Enjoy this existence. Enjoy this love. It is the deed of incredible compassion that you are here on the face of this earth. You have invested in many things. Maybe won, maybe lost. Maybe it's time to invest in life because what you invest here will always he yours. View quote
Prem Rawat
If I won the lottery I'd start a charity that helped little family hardware stores, cobblers and fruit shops open in city centres. View quote
