Nonsense and noise will oft prevail,
When honor and affection fail. [ Lloyd ]
Did Charity prevail, the press would prove
A vehicle of virtue, truth, and love. [ Cowper ]
Let love prevail!
The love that envies not, that thinks no ill,
That faileth not, but ever lives.
All things believing, hoping, bearing still. [ Horatius Bonar ]
Truth is mighty, and will in the end prevail.
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit,
He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit. [ Sir Walter Scott ]
Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven and hell a fable. [ Colton ]
When the lion's skin cannot prevail, a little of the fox's must be used. [ Lysander ]
Great lies are as great as great truths, and prevail constantly and day after day. [ Thackeray ]
Lovely sweetness is the noblest power of woman, and is far fitter to prevail by parley than by battle. [ Sir P. Sidney ]
There is no love-broker in the world can more prevail in man's commendation with woman than report of valor. [ William Shakespeare ]
He that would die well must always look for death, every day knocking at the gates of the grave; and then the grave shall never prevail against him to do him mischief. [ Jeremv Taylor ]
Over all life broods Poesy, like the calm blue sky with its motherly, rebuking face. She is the great reformer, and where the love of her is strong and healthy, wickedness and wrong cannot long prevail. [ Lowell ]
He that can keep handsomely within rules, and support the carriage of a companion to his mistress, is much more likely to prevail than he who lets her see the whole relish of his life depends upon her. If possible, therefore, divert your mistress rather than sigh for her. [ Steele ]
If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble. The proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none. By itself, the voice of humility is God's music, and the silence of humility is God's rhetoric. Humility enforces where neither virtue nor strength can prevail, nor reason. [ Enchiridion ]
