Every failure is a step to success. Every detection of what is false directs us towards what is true: every trial exhausts some tempting form of error.
William Whewell
Image
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Image
No: I am not tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely. ~ Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Our culture thrives on black-and-white narratives, clearly defined emotions, easy endings, and so, this thrust into complexity exhausts.
Caroline Knapp
Image
There is no tongue that flatters like a lover's and yet, in the exaggeration of his feelings, flattery seems to him commonplace. Strange and prodigal exuberance, which soon exhausts itself by flowing!
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
In a family, the same spoken lines come in over and over. Intimacy exhausts.
Hortense Calisher
Image
I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.
Joanne Harris
Image
I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.
Joe Torre
Image
It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
John Ruskin
Image
What else exhausts like sustained deception?
Leif Enger
Image
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect.
Maimonides
Image
If you think you are working hard, you can work harder. If you think you are doing enough, there is more that you can do. No one really ever exhausts his full potential.
Pete Carril
Image
The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them he exhausts the possibilities of his characters.
Salvatore Quasimodo
Image
I'm not really a very social person. It exhausts me when I'm out.
Steve Grand
Image
The visible exhausts me. I am dissolved in shadow.
Theodore Roethke
Image
I hate careless flattery, the kind that exhausts you in your efforts to believe it.
Wilson Mizner
Image
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Image
Some people are trapped by the belief that love comes in finite quantities, and that our kind of love exhausts the supply upon which they need to draw. I do not accept competitive models of love, only additive ones.
Andrew Solomon
Image
Historical judgement is not a variety of knowledge, it is knowledge itself it is the form which completely fills and exhausts the field of knowing, leaving no room for anything else.
Benedetto Croce
Image
Though folly, robed in purple, shines, Though vice exhausts Peruvian mines, Yet shall they tremble and turn pale When satire wields her mighty flail.
Charles Churchill
Image
[T]he habit of scientific analysis ... exhausts the material offered to it.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Image
Poetry is a religion without hope. The poet exhausts himself in its service, knowing that, in the long run, a masterpiece is nothing but the performance of a trained dog on very shaky ground.
Jean Cocteau
Image
A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished.
