Effort

Famous quotes containing the word effort:

“The message you give your children when you discipline with love is “I care too much about you to let you misbehave. I care enough about you that I’m willing to spend time and effort to help you learn what is appropriate.” All children need the security and stability of food, shelter, love, and protection, but unless they also receive effective and appropriate discipline, they won’t feel secure.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)

“Moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Success makes men rigid and they tend to exalt stability over all the other virtues; tired of the effort of willing they become fanatics about conservatism.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
