| Quotations: 3 | Pages: 1


by Christian Nestell Bovee
(February 22, 1820 - 1904)

In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.

by Joseph Addison
(May 1, 1672 - June 17, 1719)

It is the privilege of posterity to set matters right between those antagonists who, by their rivalry for greatness, divided a whole age.

by John Ruskin
(February 8, 1819 - January 20, 1900)

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.
