Sitting Mp Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words sitting and/or defeated:

    If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not do pursue them sitting upon another man’s shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Vanquished in life, his death
    By beauty made amends:
    The passing of his breath
    Won his defeated ends.
