Endeavor

Famous quotes containing the word endeavor:

“To one who habitually endeavors to contemplate the true state of things, the political state can hardly be said to have any existence whatever. It is unreal, incredible, and insignificant to him, and for him to endeavor to extract the truth from such lean material is like making sugar from linen rags, when sugar-cane may be had.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“We should endeavor practically in our lives to correct all the defects which our imagination detects.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
