Winning Quotes

The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning. ~ Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope As the gambler said of his dice, to love and win is the best thing, to love and lose is the next best. ~ The History of Pendennis by William Makepeace Thackeray For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self-denial, anxiety and discouragement. ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing." ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!" ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens "A heart well worth winning, and well won. A heart that, once won, goes through fire and water for the winner, and never changes, and is never daunted." ~ Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! ~ The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne "No, you are not worthy of the love which I have devoted to you. I knew all along that the prize I had set my life on was not worth the winning; that I was a fool, with fond fancies, too, bartering away my all of truth and ardour against your little feeble remnant of love. I will bargain no more: I withdraw." ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
