Quote by Pierre Corneille

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

Summary

Conquering without danger implies achieving victories easily, without facing any sort of challenge or risk. However, such triumphs lack glory because they fail to showcase strength, perseverance, or resilience. True triumph, on the other hand, is accompanied by glory when one overcomes formidable obstacles, displaying courage and determination. This quote suggests that achieving success through effortless conquests may leave us unfulfilled, as it is the triumphs that are hard-fought and won under difficult circumstances that truly bring honor and a sense of accomplishment.
