Famous quotes containing the word defeat:
“The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“One strong wolf cannot defeat a pack of dogs; one strong arm cannot defeat many fists.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Mrs. Van Hopper: Most girls would give their eyes for a chance to see Monte.
Maxim de Winter: Wouldn’t that rather defeat the purpose?”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
