Famous quotes containing the word effective:

    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    ... effective magic is transcendent nature ...
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.
    William James (1842–1910)
