Famous quotes containing the words women and/or champions:
“A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.”
—Minna Antrim (1861–?)
“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)
