Losing Effort

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:

    Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
    Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
    Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
    Remembered tolling a departing friend.

    Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly.
