Infinite in degree, and endless in duration. [ Franklin ]

Existence is not to be measured by mere duration. [ Caird ]

Pride, in boasting of family antiquity, makes duration stand for merit. [ Zimmermann ]

Between two beings susceptible to love, the duration of love depends upon the first resistance of the woman, or the obstacles that society puts in their way. [ Balzac ]

Pale, Pallid, or Wan? All these terms denote an absence of color, but vary in degree, pallid rising upon pale, and wan upon pallid.
