Only the impossible is worth the effort.
Jeanette Winterson
» Jeanette Winterson - all quotes »
The judgment that human life is worth living, or rather can and ought to be made worth living, ... underlies all intellectual effort; it is the a priori of social theory, and its rejection (which is perfectly logical) rejects theory itself.
Herbert Marcuse
I regret that we did not make a stronger effort to drop the name Republika Srpska. We underestimated the value to Pale of retaining their blood-soaked name. We may also have underestimated the strength of our negotiating hand on that day, when the bombing had resumed. In retrospect, I think we should have pushed Milosevic harder to change the name of the Bosnian Serb entity. Even if the effort failed, as Owen and Hill predicted, it would have been worth trying.
Richard Holbrooke
Only the impossible is worth attempting. In everything else one is sure to fail.
Celia Green
To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals — this alone is worth the struggle.
William Osler
Theology — An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.
