Whatever job they give me,
I'll try to be useful to the country. That's what I intend.
But if they frustrate me with their manoeuvres —
we know them, those smart operators: no need to say more here —
if they frustrate me, it's not my fault.
--
l. 18Constantine P. Cavafy

We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is now time for our nation to frustrate the wild dreams of the whites.
Sadao Araki
He who would not be frustrate of his hope to write well hereafter in laudable things ought himself to be a true poem.
John Milton
Absence from whom we love is worse than death,
And frustrate hope severer than despair.William Cowper
That society exists to frustrate the individual may be seen from its attitude to work. It is only morally acceptable if you do not want to do it. If you want to, it becomes a personal pleasure.
