Gained

Famous quotes containing the word gained:

“At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:31.

“Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
