Loss Quotes
-
When you are one with loss, the loss is experienced willingly.
Lao Tzu
-
Ambition, the soldier's virtue, rather makes choice of loss, than gain which darkens him.
William Shakespeare
-
Our growing ability to eliminate the slow-moving aspects of entertainment and go hopping from one peak to another is not without cost. Stand-up comics, movie-makers and others who earn their living entertaining no longer "waste" time with setups and plot development, lest we reach for the remote and click them off our screen. The result is a loss of subtlety, anticipation and nuance and, in the process, a coarsening of our discourse.
William Raspberry
-
I can give the loser leave to chide.
William Shakespeare
-
Nature in causing reason and the passions to be born at one and the same time apparently wished by the latter gift to distract man from the evil she had done him by the former, and by only permitting him to live for a few years after the loss of his passions seems to show her pity by early deliverance from a life that reduces him to reason as his sole resource.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
Guilt is ever at a loss, and confusion waits upon it; when innocence and bold truth are always ready for expression.
William Congreve
-
It cannot be doubted that theistic belief is a comfort and a solace to those who hold it, and that the loss of it is a very painful loss. It cannot be doubted, at least, by many of us in this generation, who either profess it now, or received it in our childhood and have parted from it since with such searching trouble as only cradle-faiths can cause. We have seen the spring sun shine out of an empty heaven, to light up a soulless earth; we have felt with utter loneliness that the Great Companion is dead.
William Kingdon Clifford
-
It's deeply human to do both the worst things and the best things because of your fear of loss.
Cass Sunstein
-
Losing that second game the way we did, it almost feels like we've been swept. That's a tough loss.
Adam LaRoche
-
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
Wes Anderson
-
It is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. Loss of virginity is rational increase, and there was never virgin got till virginity was first lost. That you were made of is metal to make virgins. Virginity, by being once lost, may be ten times found: by being ever kept, it is ever lost. ’Tis too cold a companion: away with ’t!
William Shakespeare
-
Tariffs that save jobs in the steel industry mean higher steel prices, which in turn means fewer sales of American steel products around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.
Thomas Sowell
-
Our colleges ought to have lit up in us a lasting relish for a better kind of man, a loss of appetite for mediocrities.
William James
-
It would be a great loss for the league. I'm going to miss him. I looked up to him, watching him win Super Bowls.
Corey Dillon
-
I have no bone loss, no brain loss, I have a lot of energy and a lot of strength. My heart is perfect so I think I'm more ready than I would have been in my 20s, honest to God.
Suzanne Somers
-
We do not fear the loss of God's favor, for either we have it not. We cannot lose it. What we fear is the loss of our idols.
R. C. Sproul, Jr.
-
[Ending] is partly drawn from a desire to shock the audience, to brutally de-romanticize what many Americans think is happening overseas. And partly drawn from my own childhood: violence and a loss of innocence. But keep in mind that, as a writer, I'm both the criminal and the victim. I'm not trying to get out of anything easy.
Said Sayrafiezadeh
-
Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.
Thomas A. Edison
