Famous quotes containing the word battles:

    Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Have you heard that it was good to gain the day?
    I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
