...my dear boy, no woman is a genius. They are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
Oscar Wilde

Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph.

Success is the maximumutilization of the ability that you have.

John Meehan
There has been a transformation of values to a too-sanitized, corporate convenience mode that markets a 'Dream' motif. There is a tide that extols — and extolled — the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King in a way that says that we are moving onward and upward. There is this tone of triumph that we have seen President Bush use when talking about the war in Iraq.
Loretta Williams

Sonya Thomas put on one of the great athletic performances of the year. It was a triumph on par with the great feats witnessed in Athens just weeks ago, and it's going to take an extraordinary effort for her record to be broken.
George Shea
Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice. Things refuse to be mismanaged long.
Theodore Parker
Ashes to Ashes: America's Hundred Year Cigarette War, the Public Health, and the Unabashed Triumph of Philip Morris.
Richard Kluger
I get enthusiastic when groups with widely different perspectives can work together and advance a policy that we think will add certainty and environmental protection. It maximizes treatment. It's a triumph of treatment over dilution and collaboration over confrontation.

Throughout history the world has been laid waste to ensure the triumph of conceptions that are now as dead as the men that died for them.
Henry De Montherlant
It is folly for an eminent person to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected by it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age, have passed through this fiery persecution.

Joseph Addison
I'm addicted to this stuff, and it's really a triumph when you're the first person to share with your friends.
Matt Pitzarella

It would be the crowning jewel in my career…if my career were ending in a few years (laughs) but it's one of those roles that you just love doing I can't wait for it to come here be seen. It is (not to sound dramatic or anything) but a triumph and return to the American Musical.
Chad Kimball
The triumph can't be had without the struggle.
Wilma Rudolph
If a large city can, after intense intellectual efforts, choose for its mayor a man who merely will not steal from it, we consider it a triumph of the suffrage.

This was truly a team triumph. We didn't have a single .300 hitter. We only had one man who drove in 100 runs and it was just 100 runs. We didn't have a 20-game winner. Everybody contributed to it. It certainly was a tribute to our scouts, too. Think about how they jumped on Bobby Jenks.
Jerry Reinsdorf

Oscar Arias Sanchez
This is a triumph of treatment over dilution and collaboration over confrontation.
Benjamin Grumbles
Survival is triumph enough.
Harry Crews
For us survivors, this commemoration under U.N. auspices is a muted triumph. It is imperfect justice, for it took 60 years for the crimes committed during the Holocaust to be properly acknowledged by the United Nations.
Roman Kent
[Siebel is celebrating its triumph over the SEC.] This was a win not only for Siebel but for all public companies trying to do the right thing, ...

Kathleen Sullivan
We don't consider it a triumph. We consider it our moral obligation.

Vladimir Ustinov
If they graduate from high school and go to college, that would be our gift to them. It would be a triumph.
Margarita Carrillo
Mindful of the fact you live in an agricultural country, I presume you know what an ass is. We read in the New Testament that our blessed Lord rode on an ass in triumph into the city of Jerusalem. Today the Lord rides on another ass: I myself.
Richard Cardinal Cushing
OVATION, n. n ancient Rome, a definite, formal pageant in honor of one who had been disserviceable to the enemies of the nation. A lesser 'triumph.' In modern English the word is improperly used to signify any loose and spontaneous expression of popular homage to the hero of the hour and place. 'I had an ovation!' the actor man said, But I thought it uncommonly queer, That peo.
Ambrose Bierce
This story lives in a very specific world - and yet the underlying scene of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds connects to any culture.
Rob Marshall
My teammates did their best to help but our plans were blown up in the final kilometers by escape attempts by cyclist of rival teams. Filippo is a good cyclist and deserved victory. I'm sorry for missing a second straight triumph here. I just lacked a bit of good luck.
Alessandro Petacchi
This is not a triumph for Chirac. People didn't go to vote.
Dominique Moisi

Kevin Blackwell
If misery loves company, then triumph demands an audience.
Brian Moore
When the witch is done away with at the end, all the gingerbread kids turn back into children, so they really are the finale, the good triumphing over evil.
Linda Dobbs
It was a triumph for the real thing. Five five-day Test matches between two gifted, well-matched teams playing fantastic cricket at high velocity and high pressure with the perfect mix of chivalry and venom. Here was the best game in the world, at its best.
Matthew Engel
As long as he is a Jew, the restricted nature which makes him a Jew is bound to triumph over the human nature which should link him as a man with other men, and will separate him from non-Jews.

Chuck Zacney
This is a political and social triumph as well as a union triumph and shows that our struggle has not been in vain.
Evo Morales
The idea of having a real transition period makes eminent sense, and most member states would tend to agree in theory. The problem is, can they settle on a candidate by the middle of the year? It would be a major triumph, but I'm not betting the farm on it.
