Conquered

Famous quotes containing the word conquered:

“A conquered nation is like a man with cancer: he can think of nothing else.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Disease can never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion’s wailful screaming or faith’s cymballic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

“Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you’ve conquered human natur’.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
