Red Star Won

Famous quotes containing the words red, star and/or won:

    We have fought too much rhetoric and red tape to be lulled and comforted by a paid political advertisement showing a candidate tossing his grandchild in the air while a disembodied voice espouses “family values” in the background.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
    Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
