Famous quotes containing the words highest, losing, scores, lowest and/or winning:

    “Ignorance is the first requisite of the historian—ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art.”
    —Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)

    “... a full notecase,
    Dull Bodley, draught beer, and dark blue,
    And most often losing the Boat Race ...”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Why have such scores of lovely, gifted girls
    Married impossible men?
    Simple self-sacrifice may be ruled out,
    And missionary endeavour, nine times out of ten.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Met face to face, these Indians in their native woods looked like the sinister and slouching fellows whom you meet picking up strings and paper in the streets of a city. There is, in fact, a remarkable and unexpected resemblance between the degraded savage and the lowest classes in a great city. The one is no more a child of nature than the other. In the progress of degradation the distinction of races is soon lost.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
