Harrison Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words harrison and/or defeated:

    It is so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace and safety, which all the great powers habitually observe and enforce in matters affecting them, that a shorter water way between our eastern and western seaboards should be dominated by any European government, that we may confidently expect that such a purpose will not be entertained by any friendly power.
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    He who succeeds is a king; he who is defeated is a bandit.
    Chinese proverb.
