Famous quotes containing the words wasted and/or costs:
“For Nature is the noblest engineer, yet uses a grinding economy, working up all that is wasted to-day into to-morrow’s creation;Mnot a superfluous grain of sand, for all the ostentation she makes of expense and public works.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
