Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or ship:

    For by superior energies; more strict
    Affiance in each other; faith more firm
    In their unhallowed principles, the bad
    Have fairly earned a victory o’er the weak,
    The vacillating, inconsistent good.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Nitrates and phosphates for ammunition. The seeds of war. They’re loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home, the world will die a little more.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
