Famous quotes containing the words national and/or success:
“Just so before we’re international,
We’re national and act as nationals.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
