Prior Finished

Famous quotes containing the words prior and/or finished:

    To John I owed great obligation;
    But John, unhappily, thought fit
    To publish it to all the nation:
    Sure John and I are more than quit.
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    Defeat doesn’t finish a man—quit does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits.
