Famous quotes containing the words sailing and/or successes:
“Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
“You may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must take pride in your enemy: then your enemy’s successes will be your successes as well.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
