Famous quotes containing the words combat and/or history:

    “In any combat between a rogue and a fool the sympathy of mankind is always with the rogue.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
