The elegancy, facility and golden cadence of poesy. [ William Shakespeare ]

Supine facility and good nature are vastly different. [ Proverb ]

People call eloquence the facility that some have in speaking alone and for a great length of time. [ Pascal ]

Dexterity respects the manner of executing things; it is the mechanical facility of performing an office. [ Abbe Girard ]

Necessity, oftener than facility, has been the mother of invention; and the most prolific school of all has been the school of difficulty. [ Samuel Smiles ]

Nothing is so difficult as the apparent ease of a clear and flowing style; those graces which, from their presumed facility, encourage all to attempt an imitation of them, are usually the most inimitable. [ Colton ]

It is not ease, but effort - not facility, but difficulty, that makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved. [ Samuel Smiles ]
