Lacks

Famous quotes containing the word lacks:

    With pictures full, of wax and of wool,
    Their livers I stick with needles quick;
    There lacks but the blood to make up the flood.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
