Famous quotes containing the words hercules and/or defeat:
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Victory has a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan.”
—Galeazzo Ciano (1903–1944)
