Struggle

Famous quotes containing the word struggle:

    This is not to say that becoming a father automatically makes you a good father. Fatherhood, like marriage, is a constant struggle against your limitations and self-interests. But the urge to be a perfect father is there, because your child is a perfect gift.
    Kent Nerburn (20th century)

    The dying man doesn’t struggle much and he isn’t much afraid. As his alkalies give out he succumbs to a blest stupidity. His mind fogs. His will power vanishes. He submits decently. He scarcely gives a damn.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)
