Prize Quotes

I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here merely to test us, to temp us, to make it the more difficult for us to capture the grand prize: the safety of the void. To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy of both men and gods Picture Quote #1

Authors of light pieces have, nobody knows why, a genius for getting into minor difficulties: they walk into the wrong apartments, they drink furniture polish for stomach bitters, they drive their cars into the prize tulip beds of haughty neighbors, they playfully slap gangsters, mistaking them for old school friends Picture Quote #1

Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own... Stand still, be quiet Picture Quote #1

What is it? A prize or something? No. It’s not a prize and I’m not a prize. But it’s mine. It belongs to me and I can only give it away once, and I want to be so sure when it happens. I don’t want to say that the first time for me was bad or it didn’t mean a thing Picture Quote #1

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men Picture Quote #1

Before an attack, the platoon pools all its available cash and the survivors divide it up afterwards. Those who are killed can’t complain, the wounded would have given far more than that to escape as they have, and the unwounded regard the money as a consolation prize for still being here Picture Quote #1

My feelings, as the last ball travelled over the net, and as I realized that the final match was mine, I cannot describe. I felt that here was a prize for all the games I had ever played Picture Quote #1

In view of the meaning given to this honor in the community to which I belong, I should abstain from the undeserved prize that has been awarded to me. Do not meet my voluntary refusal with ill will Picture Quote #1

The prize money for first place was $2, 800, but I didn’t take it because I was still an amateur Picture Quote #1

Wake the power within thee slumbering, trim the plot that’s in thy keeping, thou wilt bless the task when reaping sweet labour’s prize Picture Quote #1

I prize every candle in the darkness of the universe, even if it is not a supernova of blinding illumination Picture Quote #1

Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, and those who know it best, deplore it most; when all is won that all desire to woo, the paltry prize is hardly worth the cost Picture Quote #1
