Famous quotes containing the words challenge and/or cup:

    Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.
    Amelia Earhart (1897–1937)

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
