Famous quotes containing the word loss:
“No need to be sentimental to mourn the loss of Paradise.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Progress may feel more like loss than gain.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 3:7-9.
