Losing Effort

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:

“The eager fate which carried thee
Took the largest part of me:
For this losing is true dying;
This is lordly man’s down-lying,
This his slow but sure reclining,
Star by star his world resigning.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Nothing requires a greater effort of thought than arguments to justify the rule of non-thought.”
