Defy Quotations
What, man, defy the devil. Consider, he's an enemy to mankind. William Shakespeare You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks. Napoleon Bonaparte If you strike at, imprison, or kill us, out of our prisons or graves we will still evoke a spirit that will thwart you, and perhaps, raise a force that will destroy you! We defy you! Do your worst! James Connolly I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past. Clara Barton It's now expected of me that I will defy expectation, so I really generally seem to be free to write what I want. Jonathan Lethem |
