Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or victories:

    “Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.”
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    “And, “Better defeat almost,
    If seen clear,
    Than life’s victories of doubt
    That need endless talk-talk
    To make them out.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
