Considerable Efforts Needed

Famous quotes containing the words considerable, efforts and/or needed:

    ‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    I am more fond of achieving than striving. My theories must prove to be facts or be discarded as worthless. My efforts must soon be crowned with success, or discontinued.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    It had been a wonderful evening. And what I needed now to give it the perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig Van.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
