This reality requires you to bury your nature and conform. This is the only way to survive. It is within this reality one often shares a minuscule of what one could share. Competition and scarcity dominate the mind and the heart shuts down. The lure with which one acquires is left with with subsequent hollowness. There was nothing to be had as all it was, was appearance. The conqueror leaves empty-handed. During a lonely moment, one can go and touch inside. It is here that the spirit shows how life is wasted by living a lie. ~ Elise Icten
Conqueror quotes by Elise Icten
Beware the wooden horse, Agamemnon King, Conqueror, for it will roar to the skies on wings of thunder and herald the death of nations. ~ David Gemmell
Conqueror quotes by David Gemmell
History is the transformation of tumultuous conquerors into silent footnotes. ~ Paul Eldridge
Conqueror quotes by Paul Eldridge
Tis a barbaric fancy," said Roxholm thoughtfully as he turned the stem of his glass, keeping his eyes fixed on it as though solving a problem for himself. "A barbaric fancy that a woman needs a master. She who is strong enough is her own conqueror
as a man should be master of himself. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Conqueror quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Who shall contend with time,
unvanquished time, the conqueror of conquerors and lord of desolation? ~ Henry Kirke White
Conqueror quotes by Henry Kirke White
In the eleventh century obese English king William the Conqueror took to bed and consumed nothing but alcohol to shed pounds, a practice many of his countrymen seem to continue to this day. ~ David Sax
Conqueror quotes by David Sax
Being dead will be no different from being unborn
I shall be just as I was in the time of William the Conqueror or the dinosaurs or the trilobites. There is nothing to fear in that. ~ Richard Dawkins
Conqueror quotes by Richard Dawkins
These inventions became, incidentally, increasingly revolting to me, for I was ineradicably marked by a touch of the old cavalryman's primitive evaluation. I admit that in the earliest times the horseman had a considerable advantage over the foot soldier. (On the other hand considerably higher expenses were involved.) But the advantage was balanced by the invention of gunpowder, so rightly lamented by Ariosto. It was the end of glorious armies like those led by Charles the Bold. Cavalry charges still took place of course – and I cannot consider it unfair for the infantryman to load and fire two or three times before he received his comeuppance – but after that, death came to the cavalry.

The old Centaurs were overpowered by the new Titan. I had seen my own conqueror at close hand when I lay bleeding on the grass. He had unhorsed me – a sickly fellow, a pimply lad from the suburbs, some cutler from Sheffield or weaver from Manchester. He cowered behind his rubble heap, one eye shut, the other aiming at me across the machine gun, which did the damage. In a pattern of red and gray, he wove an evil cloth. This was the new Polyphemus or, rather, one of his lowest messenger boys with a wire mask before his one-eyed face. This was how the present masters looked. The beauty of the forests was past. ~ Ernst Junger
Conqueror quotes by Ernst Junger
The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness. ~ Laozi
Conqueror quotes by Laozi
In commemoration of the fact that France was our ally in securing independence the citizens of that nation joined with the citizens of the United States in placing in New York harbor an heroic statue representing Liberty enlightening the world. What course shall our nation pursue? Send the statue of Liberty back to France and borrow from England a statue of William the Conqueror? ~ William Jennings Bryan
Conqueror quotes by William Jennings Bryan
A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors. ~ Gautama Buddha
Conqueror quotes by Gautama Buddha
I am not a conqueror. I am nothing like you. ~ Faith Erin Hicks
Conqueror quotes by Faith Erin Hicks
For whoso dies for Christ, he is conqueror and is delivered from all misery and attains the eternal joy to which may it please our Saviour to bring us all. ~ Jan Hus
Conqueror quotes by Jan Hus
A prince is also respected when he is either a true friend or a downright enemy, that to say, when, without any reservation, he declares himself in favour of one party against the other; which course will always be more advantageous than standing neutral; because if two of your powerful neighbours come to blows, they are of such a character that, if one of them conquers, you have either to fear him or not. In either case it will always be more advantageous for you to declare yourself and to make war strenuously; because, in the first case, if you do not declare yourself, you will invariably fall a prey to the conqueror, to the pleasure and satisfaction of him who has been conquered, and you will have no reasons to offer, nor anything to protect or to shelter you. Because he who conquers does not want doubtful friends who will not aid him in the time of trial; and he who loses will not harbour you because you did not willingly, sword in hand, court his fate. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Conqueror quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
She is the widow of a Dothraki khal, a mother of dragons and sacker of cities, Aegon the Conqueror with teats. ~ George R R Martin
Conqueror quotes by George R R Martin
...though I have neither Power, Time nor Occasion, to be a great Conqueror, like Alexander, or Cesar; yet, rather than not be Mistress of a World, since Fortune and the Fates would give me none, I have made One of my own. And thus, believing, or, at least, hoping, that no Creature can, or will, Envy me for this World of mine, I remain,

Noble Ladies, Your Humble Servant, M. Newcastle. ~ Margaret Cavendish
Conqueror quotes by Margaret Cavendish
I've taken a monster used to destroy them and tamed it in their favor. I've hatched the enemy's tool and shaped it into something they can wield. And here, sitting squarely on his back, I'm the very image of a conqueror, my full weight thrown on the subjugated.

I am not a girl. I am a symbol.

And I represent everything that I shouldn't. ~ Emily Skrutskie
Conqueror quotes by Emily Skrutskie
No ruler can ever get far with only militaristic power. The easiest way to conquer is to crush people's faith and convert them to your own ideology, often portraying it as heroic. I am an ambitious man – I am not just a casual pirate to steal only people's riches. I am an emperor – I shall steal people's hearts, hopes, and faith so that they will eventually have no one but me to turn to. If you put yourself in the role of a saviour, people are sure to follow you, just like a pack of lambs always follows a mighty shepherd. ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Conqueror quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Colchester, Ash, my captain, staking my body with his cock like a conqueror, like a king. ~ Sierra Simone
Conqueror quotes by Sierra Simone
Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it, for she felt sure she would catch a bad cold if she did not get dry very soon.
'Ahem!' said the Mouse with an important air, 'are you all ready? This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! William the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was soon submitted to by the English [ ... ] ~ Lewis Carroll
Conqueror quotes by Lewis Carroll
Or, in the triumph of the crowded procession, have the helpless been trampled on, instead of being gently lifted aside out of the roadway of the conqueror, whom they have no power to accompany on his march? It ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Conqueror quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
Begger or rich man, soldier or merchant, Rufus was indestructible, for the man who could laugh at life or death was in the end the only conqueror. ~ Rosemary Anne Sisson
Conqueror quotes by Rosemary Anne Sisson
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conqueror quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror. ~ Sigmund Freud
Conqueror quotes by Sigmund Freud
How DARE you and the rest of your barbarians set fire to my library? Play conqueror all you want, Mighty Caesar! Rape, murder, pillage thousands, even millions of human beings! But neither you nor any other barbarian has the right to destroy one human thought! ~ William Shakespeare
Conqueror quotes by William Shakespeare
To understand the truth of history, you must lend one ear to the conqueror, yet two to the vanquished. ~ Kyle West
Conqueror quotes by Kyle West
When something poses as obstacle to you,surmount it and use it as a miracle to move on to greater height. ~ Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Conqueror quotes by Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
My favorite quote: The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land ... In short, a land ethic changes the role of Homo sapiens from conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it. It implies respect for his fellow-members, and also respect for the community as such. ~ Aldo Leopold
Conqueror quotes by Aldo Leopold
A search always starts with Beginner's Luck and ends with the Test of the Conqueror. ~ Paulo Coelho
Conqueror quotes by Paulo Coelho
Neutrality is dangerous, whereby thou becomest a necessary prey to the conqueror. ~ Francis Quarles
Conqueror quotes by Francis Quarles
The happiest of endings begin with a struggle so embrace yours ~ Nomzamo Nhlumayo
Conqueror quotes by Nomzamo Nhlumayo
Corporations are getting better and better at seducing us into thinking the way they think - of profits as the telos and responsibility as something to be enshrined in symbol and evaded in reality. Cleverness as opposed to wisdom. Wanting and having instead of thinking and making. We cannot stop it. I suspect what'll happen is that there will be some sort of disaster - depression, hyperinflation - and then it'll be showtime: We'll either wake up and retake our freedom or we'll fall apart utterly. Like Rome - conqueror of its own people. ~ David Foster Wallace
Conqueror quotes by David Foster Wallace
Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. Conqueror of Psychlos.' Brown Limper spat on the bill.
He suddenly seized the bill and tore it frantically into little pieces.
Then he threw the pieces around with angry gestures.
After that he gathered them all up again and, with a set, malevolent expression on his face, burned them.
Then he pulverized the ashes with his fist. But somebody came in soon after and said with a delighted smile, "Have you seen the new bank note?" And waved one!
Brown Limper rushed out of the room and found a place to vomit. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Conqueror quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
Of whomsoever else he might be the conqueror, Alexander was never the conqueror of India! He did not even see the courtyard (of the palatial edifice) of India, and to many others he was never known (even by name) ! ~ Savarkar
Conqueror quotes by Savarkar
God expects you to have the mentality of a conqueror. See yourself as a victor in Christ Jesus, and go about life with a holy swagger! ~ Pedro Okoro
Conqueror quotes by Pedro Okoro
You don't fight the battles you know you will win, its the ones that everyone says you will lose. ~ Chris Burkmenn
Conqueror quotes by Chris Burkmenn
The conqueror writes history, they came, they conquered and they write. You don't expect the people who came to invade us to tell the truth about us ... ~ Miriam Makeba
Conqueror quotes by Miriam Makeba
Tom Hanks, who starred in 'The Da Vinci Code,' turns out to be related to a number of the historic characters that feature in 'The Da Vinci Code,' including William the Conqueror and Shakespeare. ~ Steven Pinker
Conqueror quotes by Steven Pinker
It may surprise you to learn that at this moment, Sunny resembled the famous Greek conqueror Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great lived more than two thousand years ago, and his last name was not actually "The Great." "The Great" was something that he forced people to call him, by bringing a bunch of soldiers into their land and proclaiming himself king. Besides invading other people's countries and forcing them to do whatever he said, Alexander the Great was famous for something called the Gordian Knot. The Gordian Knot was a fancy knot tied in a piece of rope by a king named Gordius. Gordius said that if Alexander could untie it, he could rule the whole kingdom. But Alexander who was too busy conquering places to learn how to untie knots, simply drew his sword and cut the Gordian Knot in two. This was cheating, of course, but Alexander had too many soldiers for Gordius to argue, and soon everybody in Gordium had to bow down to You-Know-Who the Great. Ever since then, a difficult problem can be called a Gordian Knot, and if you solve the problem in a simple way - even if the way is rude - you are cutting the Gordian Knot. ~ Lemony Snicket
Conqueror quotes by Lemony Snicket
The wolf is strong, and therefore is a warrior. The bear is mighty, and therefore is a general. The lion is invincible, and therefore is a conqueror. The owl is wise, and therefore is king. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Conqueror quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Gold is the key, whatever else we try; and that sweet metal aids the conqueror in every case, in love as well as war. ~ Moliere
Conqueror quotes by Moliere
Angus was courting me with lines that stabbed deep in lonely, barren places. Like an unfair conqueror, he was delivering his words with an accent that had me dreaming of castles and lochs, and strong thighs under a rough kilt. ~ Cheryl R Cowtan
Conqueror quotes by Cheryl R Cowtan
The man who has grit enough to bring about the afforestation or the irrigation of a country is not less worthy of honor than its conqueror. ~ J. Arthur Thomson
Conqueror quotes by J. Arthur Thomson
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him. ~ Oswald Chambers
Conqueror quotes by Oswald Chambers
He is hailed a conqueror of conquerors.
[Lat., Victor victorum cluet.] ~ Plautus
Conqueror quotes by Plautus
In our five thousand years of civilization, our history has often been the handmaid of geography. We lie exactly midway between the North Pole and the Equator. We are the gateway between the Fertile Crescent and Europe, between landlocked Central Asia and the Mediterranean world and beyond that, the Atlantic. Peoples and empires have ebbed and flowed across this land. Even today sixty per cent of Europe's gas supply either passes down the Bosphorus or runs under our very feet through pipelines. We have always been the navel of the world. Yet our favoured location by its very nature surrounded us with historical enemies; to the north, Russia to the south, the Arabs; to the east, Persia and to the west, the Red Apple itself, Europe.'
The Red Apple, the myth of Ottoman imperialism. When Mehmet the Conqueror looked out from the parapets of his fortress of Europe at Constantinople, the Red Apple had been the golden globe in the open palm of Justinian's statue in the Hippodrome, the symbol of Roman power and ambition. Mehmet rode through the crumbling Hippodrome, the decaying streets of dying Byzantium and the Red Apple became Rome itself. The truth of the Red Apple was that it would always be unattainable, for it was the westering spirit, the globe of the setting sun itself.
'Now we find ourselves caught between Arab oil, Russian gas and Iranian radiation and we found that the only way we could take the Red Apple was by joining it.'
This is poor stuff, Georgios thin ~ Ian McDonald
Conqueror quotes by Ian McDonald
India has always had a strange way with her conquerors. In defeat, she beckons them in, then slowly seduces, assimilates and transforms them. ~ William Dalrymple
Conqueror quotes by William Dalrymple
The capacity of any conqueror is more likely than not to be an illusion produced by the incapacity of his adversary. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Conqueror quotes by George Bernard Shaw
That strange blend of the commercial traveller, the missionary and the barbarian conqueror, which was the American abroad. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Conqueror quotes by Olaf Stapledon
Greece is the mother of science and the source of knowledge. ~ Mehmed The Conqueror
Conqueror quotes by Mehmed The Conqueror
For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting. ~ George S. Patton Jr.
Conqueror quotes by George S. Patton Jr.
The idea of marrying Lukan made her skin crawl. He was a Chenayan. She, a Norin. He was her conqueror. She, his conquered. He had been born and raised to lord over her. She had been born and raised to hate him. They might as well have been different species. ~ Gwynn White
Conqueror quotes by Gwynn White
Description which is given by the prophet Isaiah of the king of Babylon, when he went down to hell, and all the kings whom he had destroyed, and whose countries he had ravaged, were lying on their beds of fire; and as they saw their great conqueror enter, instead of trembling, they hissed out, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Conqueror quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
His sumptuous tents, and those of his satraps, afforded an immense booty to the conqueror; and an incident is mentioned which proves the rustic but martial ignorance of the legions in the elegant superfluities of life. A bag of shining leather, filled with pearls, fell into the hands of a private soldier; he carefully preserved the bag, but he threw away its contents, judging that whatever was of no use could not possibly be of any value. ~ Edward Gibbon
Conqueror quotes by Edward Gibbon
The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture ~ Camille Paglia
Conqueror quotes by Camille Paglia
He came, not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as one whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. God tapped humanity on its collective shoulder, "Pardon me," he said, and eternity interrupted time, divinity interrupted carnality, and heaven interrupted the earth in the form of a baby. Christianity was born in one big heavenly interruption. ~ Max Lucado
Conqueror quotes by Max Lucado
One who falls a hundred times,
and rises, is a warrior.
One who falls a thousand times,
and rises, is a champion.
One who falls countless times,
and rises, is a conqueror. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Conqueror quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Success has always been the greatest liar - and the "work" itself is a success; the great statesman, the conqueror, the discoverer is disguised by his creations, often beyond recognition; the "work," whether of the artist or the philosopher, invents the man who has created it, who is supposed to have create it; "great men," as they are venerated, are subsequent pieces of wretched minor fiction ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Conqueror quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I have suffered pains and torture of all natures. I have heard many say, "I am a survivor." I am not in a boat in a sea of torture awaiting to be rescued. I am a Conqueror, I am a Victor ...
I am one with myself.
I AM FREE! ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Conqueror quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
Conquerors never, never conquer a nation to bring freedom. They brought control. ~ Ernst Zundel
Conqueror quotes by Ernst Zundel
I will not go so far as to say, with a living poet, that the world knows nothing of its greatest men; but there are forms of greatness, or at least of excellence, which "die and make no sign"; there are martyrs that miss the palm, but not the stake; heroes without the laurel, and conquerors without the triumph. ~ George Augustus Henry Sala
Conqueror quotes by George Augustus Henry Sala
When you wrestle with life, your heart inevitably becomes a warrior; when you wrestle with death, your soul inevitably becomes a conqueror. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Conqueror quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
I have sometimes dreamt ... that when the Day of Judgment dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their rewards
their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble
the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say, not without a certain envy when He sees us coming with our books under our arms, Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading. ~ Virginia Woolf
Conqueror quotes by Virginia Woolf
Danger is to a conqueror what excitement is to a gambler ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Conqueror quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
War gives the right to the conquerors to impose any condition they please upon the vanquished. ~ Julius Caesar
Conqueror quotes by Julius Caesar
They are surely gods who speak to him
With steady voices
A glance from him drives men to their
knees
His sigh brings cities to ruin
I wonder if he dreams of surrender
On a bed of white flowers
Or is that the mistaken hope
Of every would-be conqueror?
The world was not made for beauty like
his. ~ C.S. Pacat
Conqueror quotes by C.S. Pacat
The moments of refinement conceal a death-principle: nothing is more fragile than subtlety. The abuse of it leads to the catechisms, an end to dialectical games, the collapse of an intellect which instinct no longer assists. The ancient philosophy, trapped in its scruples, had in spite of itself opened the way to the artlessness of the lower depths; religious sects pullulated; the schools gave way to the cults. An analogous defeat threatens us: already the ideologies are rampant, the degraded mythologies which will reduce and annihilate us. We shall not be able to sustain the ceremony of our contradictions much longer. Many are prepared to venerate any idol, to serve any truth, so long as one and the other be imposed upon them, so long as they need not make the effort to choose their shame or their disaster.
Whatever the world to come, the Western peoples will play in it the part of the Graeculi in the Roman Empire. Sought out and despised by the new conqueror, they will have, in order to impress him, only the jugglery of their intelligence or the luster of their past. The art of surviving oneself - they are already distinguished in that. Symptoms of exhaustion are everywhere: Germany has given her measure in music: what leads us to believe that she will excel in it again? She has used up the resources of her profundity, as France those of her elegance. Both - and with them, this entire corner of the world - are on the verge of bankruptcy, the most glamorous since antiq ~ Emil M. Cioran
Conqueror quotes by Emil M. Cioran
If conquerors be regarded as the engine-drivers of History, then the conquerors of thought are perhaps the pointsmen who, less conspicuous to the traveler's eye, determine the direction of the journey. ~ Arthur Koestler
Conqueror quotes by Arthur Koestler
Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography including male-male gay pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm, and almost all of it actually portrays or implies enslaved women and master. ~ Gloria Steinem
Conqueror quotes by Gloria Steinem
Far better was our homely diet, eaten in peace and liberty, than the luxurious dainties, the love of which hath delivered us as bondsmen to the foreign conqueror! ~ Walter Scott
Conqueror quotes by Walter Scott
Adam Wayne, the conqueror, with his face flung back and his mane like a lion's, stood with his great sword point upwards, the red raiment of his office flapping around him like the red wings of an archangel. And the King saw, he knew not how, something new and overwhelming. The great green trees and the great red robes swung together in the wind. The preposterous masquerade, born of his own mockery, towered over him and embraced the world. This was the normal, this was sanity, this was nature, and he himself, with his rationality, and his detachment and his black frock-coat, he was the exception and the accident - a blot of black upon a world of crimson and gold. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Conqueror quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Every time Radu thought he had found a place in the world, the world changed around him, and once again he was left alone. ~ Kiersten White
Conqueror quotes by Kiersten White
I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! I'm Alexander! He's no Alexander! I'm the best ever. There's never been anyone as ruthless as me. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's no one like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah! ~ Mike Tyson
Conqueror quotes by Mike Tyson
It's like saying that two and two equals four, but if you wish to believe it, it could also be five ... Evolution is not a theory; it is a fact, every bit as much as the historical fact that William the Conqueror landed in 1066. ~ David Attenborough
Conqueror quotes by David Attenborough
Fear accomplishes much in love. The husband of the Middle Ages was loved by his wife for his very severity. The bride of William the Conqueror, having been beaten by him, recognized him by this token for her lord and husband ~ Jules Michelet
Conqueror quotes by Jules Michelet
Sometimes, stopping a purposeful journey can be very appealing, but that can also be as deadly as death. Pursue with tenacity, strive through the adversities, understand the vicissitudes of life and dare to be a conqueror no matter what, with fortitude and understanding! There is always a moment in a purposeful journey when giving up speaks clearly and convincingly, but when you fix your eyes on the end point, you shall surely see life after all the ups and downs! Don't kill your dreams! Awake! Arise and go! Never give up! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Conqueror quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
He is twice a conqueror, who can restrain himself in the hour of triumph. ~ Publilius Syrus
Conqueror quotes by Publilius Syrus
A conqueror is always a lover of peace. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz
Conqueror quotes by Carl Von Clausewitz
Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before - but a challenge to rise to. A challenge we must rise to. ~ Joe Lieberman
Conqueror quotes by Joe Lieberman
No one is ever a victim, although your conquerors would have you believe in your own victimhood. How else could theu conquer you? ~ Barbara Marciniak
Conqueror quotes by Barbara Marciniak
When you look for a man- what you want to look for is a man with the heart of a poor boy and the mind of a conqueror. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Conqueror quotes by C. JoyBell C.
Kill one man, and you are murderer ~ Jean Rostand
Conqueror quotes by Jean Rostand
Time is the most subtle yet the most insatiable of depredators, and by appearing to take nothing is permitted to take all; nor can it be satisfied until it has stolen the world from us, and us from the world. It constantly flies, yet overcomes all things by flight; and although it is the present ally, it will be the future conqueror of death. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Conqueror quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Yet only the atrocities of the conquered are referred to as criminal acts; those of the conqueror are justified as necessary, heroic, and even worse, as the fulfillment of God's will. ~ Jim Fergus
Conqueror quotes by Jim Fergus
The revenues of the ancient Saxon kings of England are said to have been paid, not in money, but in kind, that is, in victuals and provisions of all sorts. William the Conqueror introduced the custom of paying them in money. This money, however, was for a long time, received at the exchequer, by weight, and not by tale. The inconveniency and difficulty of weighing those metals with exactness, gave occasion to the institution of coins, of which the stamp, covering entirely both sides of the piece, and sometimes the edges too, was supposed to ascertain not only the fineness, but the weight of the metal. Such coins, therefore, were received by tale, as at present, without the trouble of weighing. ~ Adam Smith
Conqueror quotes by Adam Smith
His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular. ~ Idi Amin
Conqueror quotes by Idi Amin
World peace can be achieved only if there is nothing left to conquer ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Conqueror quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
The approach to Earth of Halley's Comet in the year 66 is the probable explanation of the account by Josephus of a sword that hung over Jerusalem for a whole year. In 1066 the Normans witnessed another return of Halley's Comet. Since it must, they thought, presage the fall of some kingdom, the comet encouraged, in some sense precipitated, the invasion of England by William the Conqueror. The comet was duly noted in a newspaper of the time, the Bayeux Tapestry. ~ Carl Sagan
Conqueror quotes by Carl Sagan
It is well-known that the friend of a conqueror is but the last victim. ~ Isaac Asimov
Conqueror quotes by Isaac Asimov
The customs of that most criminal nation (Israel) have gained such strength that they have now been received in all lands. The conquered have given laws to the conquerors. ~ Seneca The Younger
Conqueror quotes by Seneca The Younger
Mengistu seemed to symbolize the revolution. He was the baria, the slave who overthrew the master, the member of the conquered tribe who got even with the conquerors, the poorly educated son of a servant who rose against the intellectual elite. ~ Mengistu Haile Mariam
Conqueror quotes by Mengistu Haile Mariam
In a conquered country benevolence is not humanitarianism. It is a general political axiom that a conqueror must not inspire a good opinion of his benevolence until he has demonstrated that he can be severe with malefactors. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Conqueror quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
One may live as a conqueror, a king, or a magistrate; but he must die a man. The bed of death brings every human being to his pure individuality, to the intense contemplation of that deepest and most solemn of all relations - the relations between the creature and his Creator. ~ Daniel Webster
Conqueror quotes by Daniel Webster
Napoleon, the greatest of the conquerors, is a sufficient proof that great men of action are criminals, and therefore, not geniuses. One can understand him by thinking of the tremendous intensity with which he tried to escape from himself. There is this element in all the conquerors, great or small. Just because he had great gifts, greater than those of any emperor before him, he had greater difficulty in stifling the disapproving voice within him. The motive of his ambition was the craving to stifle his better self. ~ Otto Weininger
Conqueror quotes by Otto Weininger
Conquer the thousands of man may not be called a winner, but be able to conquer yourself is called a brilliant conqueror! ~ Sukarno
Conqueror quotes by Sukarno
When William the Conqueror commissioned a great survey of his English realm at Gloucester in 1085, the result was a work so thorough, fair, dispassionate, and wide-ranging that it seemed to the succeeding generations to have come from another world. ~ James Buchan
Conqueror quotes by James Buchan
But the poison of the serpent, whose head you crush, enters you through the wound in your heel; and thus the serpent becomes more dangerous than it was before. Since whatever I reject is never- theless in my nature. I thought it was without, and so I believed that I could destroy it. But it resides in me and has only assumed a passing outer form and stepped toward me. I destroyed its form and believed that I was a conqueror. But I have not yet overcome myself. ~ Jung
Conqueror quotes by Jung
Don't change the beggar into a conqueror, because it was the beggar who led you to conquest. ~ Witold Gombrowicz
Conqueror quotes by Witold Gombrowicz
Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it. ~ Jean Anouilh
Conqueror quotes by Jean Anouilh
The greatest dread of ordinary man is death, with its rude imposition interrupting fortuitous plans and fondest attachments with an unknown and unwelcome change. The yogi is a conqueror of the grief associated with death. By control of mind and life force and the development of wisdom, he makes friends with the change of consciousness called death-he becomes familiar with the state of inner calmness and aloofness from identification with the mortal body. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Conqueror quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
