Losing Effort

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:

“I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
