Famous quotes containing the words triple, crowns and/or won:

    Their martyred blood and ashes sow
    O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
    The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
    A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
    Early may fly the Babylonian woe.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The end crowns all;
    And that old common arbitrator, Time,
    Will one day end it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Passing away, saith the World, passing away:
    Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:
    Thy life never continueth in one stay.
    Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray
    That hath won neither laurel nor bay?
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
