[Ads-l] Japanese (?) proverb

[Jonathan Lighter]

>From Peter Quennell's 1962 translation of Henry de Montherlant's 1922
novel, _The Dream_ (p.85):

"Remembering the Japanese proverb: 'Victory belongs to him who can hold out
another of an hour.'"

The sentiment sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't see this formulation on
the Net.
