Famous quotes containing the word efforts:

    Whatever I may be, I want to be elsewhere than on paper. My art and my industry have been employed in making myself good for something; my studies, in teaching me to do, not to write. I have put all my efforts into forming my life. That is my trade and my work.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
