Fought

Famous quotes containing the word fought:

“All you people don’t know about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for, and he fought for them once, for the only reason that any man ever fights for them. Because of just one plain, simple rule—Love Thy Neighbor. And in this world today, full of hatred, a man who knows that one rule has a great trust.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

“I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

“My wife and I lived all alone,
contention was our only bone.
I fought with her, she fought with me,
and things went on right merrily.”
—Robert Creeley (b. 1926)
