Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll leave her.

Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)

“To cook a pig, apply heat; to win a lawsuit, apply money.”
—Chinese proverb.

“The bold enterprises are the successful ones. Take counsel of hopes rather than of fears to win in this business.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
