Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit; But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself.

William Shakespeare

I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.

Davy Crockett

The entire merit of a man can never be made known; nor the sum of his demerits, if he have them. We are only known by our names; as letters sealed up, we but read each other's superscriptions.

Herman Melville

One of the things that pains me is we have so tragically underestimated the trauma, the hardship we create in this country when we treat people unfairly, when we incarcerate them unfairly, when we condemn them unfairly.

Bryan Stevenson

I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless[ly] and independent and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.

Davy Crockett

On the sled, in the box, lay a third man whose toil was over, - a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again. It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement; and the Wild aims always to destroy movement.

Jack London

Cash-payment never was, or could except for a few years be, the union-bond of man to man. Cash never yet paid one man fully his deserts to another; nor could it, nor can it, now or henceforth to the end of the world.

Thomas Carlyle

Gary Neville never seemed to know when he was beaten, and Ashley Cole never gets beaten.

Kyle Walker

No Englishman is ever fairly beaten

George Bernard Shaw

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten', he does not say 'My men were beaten.'

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It is well known that the man who first made public the theory of irrationals perished in a shipwreck in order that the inexpressible and unimaginable should ever remain veiled. And so the guilty man, who fortuitously touched on and revealed this aspect of living things, was taken to the place where he began and there is for ever beaten by the waves.

Proclus

If liberalism discredited itself, Obama woulda never gotten elected, and the New Deal woulda gone by the wayside, and LBJ woulda never gotten the Great Society. Liberalism does not discredit itself. It has to be explained and beaten back.

Rush Limbaugh

Fairly examined, truly understood, No man is wholly bad, nor wholly good.

Theognis of Megara

My experiences in high school, in which I was used to being unfairly labeled, unfairly maligned, gave me the thick skin that I needed.

Stephen Miller

When I was elected for the first time in '06 I'd never been elected to any body. City councils, school board, community college boards, trustee, water district trustee, class president, ASB president, senior class president - nothing. I was never elected to anything in my life.
