Famous quotes containing the words women, champions and/or challenge:
“Your women of honour, as you call ‘em, are only chary of their reputations, not their persons; and ‘tis scandal that they would avoid, not men.”
—William Wycherley (1640–1716)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.”
—Amelia Earhart (1897–1937)
