Famous quotes containing the words effective and/or strength:
“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Though strength be wanting, the will to action
Merits praise.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
