Alliance Won

Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or won:

“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.”
