He who overcomes himself is divine. Most see their ruin before their eyes; but they go on into it.
Leopold Von Ranke

Andre Gide
Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.
William Butler Yeats

Ulrich Beck
The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.
Harry Golden
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix
Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.
John Milton
