Whatever shall be to the advantage of all, may that prevail!

Speech against Philip II of Macedon (351 BC), in Olynthiacs; Philippics (1930) as translated by James Herbert Vince, p. 99Demosthenes
For want of me the world’s course will not fail;
When all its work is done the lie shall rot;
The truth is great and shall prevail
When none cares whether it prevail or not.Coventry Patmore
Whenever it is necessary that one of several conflicting opinions should prevail and when one would have to be made to prevail by force if need be, it is less wasteful to determine which has the stronger support by counting numbers than by fighting.
Friedrich Hayek
I say to those opposite: we intend to prevail in this battle of ideas, on the ground, right through to the next election. We intend to prevail.
Kevin Rudd
Resign, v. To renounce an honor for an advantage. To renounce an advantage for a greater advantage.
Ambrose Bierce
A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don't have an advantage or this and that.... I've said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.
