Tug Quotations
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me.
Jodie Foster
When Greeks joined Greeks, then was the tug of war.
Nathaniel Lee
