Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:
“We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Certainly the effort to remain unchanged, young, when the body gives so impressive a signal of change as the menopause, is gallant; but it is a stupid, self-sacrificial gallantry, better befitting a boy of twenty than a woman of forty-five or fifty. Let the athletes die young and laurel-crowned. Let the soldiers earn the Purple Hearts. Let women die old, white-crowned, with human hearts.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
