Famous quotes containing the words further and/or use:
“Why go further and further,
Look, happiness is right here.
Learn how to grab hold of luck,
For luck is always there.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
