Famous quotes containing the words stress and/or element:
“In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must rise or fall upon our own merits; that vigilance wins success, and incapacity means ruin.”

“Truly, though our element is time,
We are not suited to the long perspectives
Open at each instant of our lives.”
