Famous quotes containing the words wins and/or national:
“In even the happiest love story, the World wins at last.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
