Famous quotes containing the word effort:
““... There, there,
What you complain of, all the nations share.

That when it gets too exquisite to bear
Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.”
