Famous quotes containing the words prominent, war and/or effort:
“The vain man does not wish so much to be prominent as to feel himself prominent; he therefore disdains none of the expedients for self-deception and self-outwitting. It is not the opinion of others that he sets his heart on, but his opinion of their opinion.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
