Facility Built

Famous quotes containing the words facility and/or built:

    Virtue rejects facility to be her companion.... She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
    Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
    Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
    Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

    Who trusted God was love indeed
    And love Creation’s final law—
    Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
    With ravine, shrieked against his creed—
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
