Triumph Quotes - Page 8

• Every green thing loves to die in bright colors. The vegetable cohorts march glowing out of the year in flaming dresses, as if to leave this earth were a triumph and not a sadness. It is never nature that is sad, but only we, that dare not look back on the past, and that have not its prophecy of the future in our bosoms.

  Henry Ward Beecher

  Sadness, Past, Glowing

  Henry Ward Beecher (1855). “Star papers; or, Experiences of art and nature”, p.183

• La elección de un diputado a la Asamblea Legislativa ofrece un espectáculo noble y majestuoso sólo comparable al alumbramiento de un niño. Implica los mismos esfuerzos, las mismas impurezas, la misma laceración y el mismo triunfo.

• Cruelty was the devil, and most people were, in one way or another, cruel. Tyranny, suppression, persecution, torture, slavery, war, neglect - all were cruel. The world was acid and sour with hate, fat with greed, yellow with the triumph of the strong and the rich.

  Rose Macaulay

  Strong, Hate, War

  Rose Macaulay (Dame.) (1940). “And No Man's Wit”

• Every day His servants are dying modestly and peacefully--not a word of victory on their lips; but Christ's deep triumph in their hearts--watching the slow progress of their own decay, and yet so far emancipated from personal anxiety that they are still able to think and plan for others, not knowing that they are doing any great thing. They die, and the world hears nothing of them; and yet theirs was the completest victory. They came to the battle field, the field to which they had been looking forward all their lives, and the enemy was not to be found. There was no foe to fight with.

  Frederick William Robertson

• Mis valientes compañeros, que ninguna sensación de satisfacción por los triunfos obtenidos os induzca a insultar a vuestro enemigo caído. Que ningún grito, ningún clamoroso hurra aumente su mortificación. Nos basta con ser testigos de su humillación. La posteridad nos aclamará.

• Habit hath so vast a prevalence over the human mind that there is scarce anything too strange or too strong to be asserted of it. The story of the miser who, from long accustoming to cheat others, came at last to cheat himself, and with great delight and triumph picked his own pocket of a guinea to convey to his hoard, is not impossible or improbable.

• Creo que el deseo de ser cruel y herir (con palabras porque cualquier otra forma podría ser peligrosa para nosotros mismos) forma parte de la naturaleza humana. Las fiestas son batallas (la mayoría de las fiestas), una conversación es un duelo (a menudo). Todo el mundo intenta herir primero, meter la cizaña que le hará sentirse superior, sentirse triunfador.

• Women deluded by these sentiments, sometimes boast of their weakness, cunningly obtaining power by playing on the weakness of men; and they may well glory in their illicit sway, for, like Turkish bashaws, they have more real power than their masters: but virtue is sacrificed to temporary gratifications, and the respectability of life to the triumph of an hour.

• To be a good sportsman, one must be a stoic and never show rancor in defeat, or triumph in victory, or irritation, no matter what annoyance is encountered. One who can not help sulking, or explaining, or protesting when the loser, or exulting when the winner, has no right to take part in games or contests.

• All tragedies deal with fated meetings; how else could there be a play? Fate deals its stroke; sorrow is purged, or turned to rejoicing; there is death, or triumph; there has been a meeting, and a change. No one will ever make a tragedy - and that is as well, for one could not bear it - whose grief is that the principals never met.

• It is curious to observe the triumph of slight incidents over the mind; and what incredible weight they have in forming and governing our opinions, both of men and things, that trifles light as air shall waft a belief into the soul, and plant it so immovable within it, that Euclid's demonstrations, could they be brought to batter it in breach, should not all have power to overthrow it!

  Laurence Sterne

• It is the grandeur of Christ's character which constitutes the chief power of His ministry, not His miracles or teachings apart from His character. The greatest triumph of the Gospel is Christ Himself--a human body become the organ of the Divine nature, and revealing, under the conditions of an earthly life, the glory of God.

  Horace Bushnell
