Forced

Famous quotes containing the word forced:

    To be forced to refuse a gift merely because it was not offered in the right way embitters us toward the giver.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Surely life, if it be not long, is tedious, since we are forced to call in the assistance of so many trifles to rid us of our time, of that time which never can return.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
    Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
    Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
