Loss

Famous quotes containing the word loss:

    Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    When a man laughs at his troubles he loses a good many friends. They never forgive the loss of their prerogative.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship? Then all things go to decay. Genius leaves the temple to haunt the senate or the market.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
