Famous quotes containing the words success of, success and/or law:

    When you think of the huge uninterrupted success of a book like Don Quixote, you’re bound to realize that if humankind have not yet finished being revenged, by sheer laughter, for being let down in their greatest hope, it is because that hope was cherished so long and lay so deep!
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

    The I’m-going-to-win-no-matter-how-I-have-to-do-it attitude just doesn’t seem to fit. For me, a contest isn’t a success unless it was fun, whether or not I win.
    Margo Godfrey Oberg (b. c. 1955)

    Laws can be wrong and laws can be cruel. And the people who live only by the law are both wrong and cruel.
    —Ardel Wray. Mark Robson. Thea (Ellen Drew)
