Famous quotes containing the word endeavors:
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
“Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”
—Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850)
