Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.

Vladimir Lenin

Calumny is a monstrous vice: for, where parties indulge in it, there are always two that are actively engaged in doing wrong, and one who is subject to injury. The calumniator inflicts wrong by slandering the absent; he who gives credit to the calumny before he has investigated the truth is equally implicated. The person traduced is doubly injured--first by him who propagates, and secondly by him who credits the calumny.

Herodotus

Triumph over adversity that's what the marathon is all about. Nothing in life can't triumph after that

Kathrine Switzer

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Oscar Wilde

The only measures that count are progress over your own self, and triumph over the vacant abstractions that most people mistake for thinking.

Kenny Smith

Space-ships and time machines are no escape from the human condition. Let Othello subject Desdemona to a lie-detector test; his jealousy will still blind him to the evidence. Let Oedipus triumph over gravity; he won't triumph over his fate.

Arthur Koestler

To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.

Vladimir Nabokov

Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.

Oscar Wilde

The only cure for contempt is counter-contempt.

H. L. Mencken

The more I loved the king, the more I opposed his injustice until his brow fell lowering upon me. He heaped calumny after calumny on my head, and I chose to be driven out rather than to subscribe.

Thomas Becket

The only way to treat the common cold is with contempt.

William Osler

His calumny is not only the greatest benefit a rogue can confer on us, but the only service he will perform for nothing.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Calumny is only the noise of madmen.

Diogenes

The spot where God's triumph is achieved, God's victory over sin, over lawlessness, is the cross of Calvary- the cross on which the Son of God died. In that cross and through the cross the works of the devil were destroyed, and the One who conquered him is yet to bruise the serpent's head in the final triumph when He comes again, as recorded in prophecy.

Arno C. Gaebelein

I have nothing but contempt for anyone who can spell a word in only one way.

Thomas Jefferson

One kind of artist is always striving to annihilate the past, to make the world anew in each new work, and so to triumph over the dead weight of routine. I am the other kind... who only sees his way forward by standing on the shoulders of those who have already cleared the path ahead.
