Losing Effort

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:

    Let the palings of her bed
    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.
    That all the wood in blossoming,
    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Never mind if you fall far short of the thing you want to do,—encourage your effort. If no one else will say it to you, say it to yourself. “Not so bad.” It will make the next effort easier and better.
    Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)
