Famous quotes containing the word conquered:
“And now my work is done, which neither the anger of
Jove, nor fire, nor sword, nor the gnawing tooth of time
shall ever be able to undo.... Wherever Romes power
extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention
on mens lips.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“... the selfishness that is bred of great success is our shame. We have subdued the wilderness and made it ours. We have conquered the earth and the richness thereof. We have indelibly stamped upon its face the seal of our dominating will. Now, unlike Alexander sighing for more worlds to conquer, we should address ourselves to adding beauty to that glory and grandeur.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (18671945)
“I, a poor peasant, have conquered science. Why cant I conquer love? Dont you understand? You must be mine, not his. You are mine.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (18991954)
