Quotations for involves

True repentance also involves reform. [ Hosea Ballou ]

Genius involves both envy and calumny. [ Pope ]

War is a crime which involves all other crimes. [ Brougham ]

Ability involves responsibility. Power to its last particle is duty. [ Maclaren ]

Every duty, even the least duty, involves the whole principle of obedience. [ Archbishop Manning ]

Malice is a passion so impetuous and precipitate, that it often involves the agent and the patient. [ Government of the Tongue ]

The possession of wealth is, as it were, prepayment, and involves an obligation of honor to the doing of correspondent work. [ George MacDonald ]

It takes an age to build a city, but an hour involves it in ruin. A forest is long in growing, but in a moment it may be reduced to ashes. [ Seneca ]

I put myself, my experiences, my observations, my heart and soul into my work. I press my soul upon the white paper. The writer who does this may have any style, he or she will find the hearts of their readers. Writing a book involves, not a waste, but a great expenditure of vital force. Yet I can assure you I have written the last lines of most of my stories with tears. The characters of my own creation had become dear to me. I could not bear to bid them good-bye and send them away from me into the wide world. [ Amelia E. Barr, The Art of Authorship, 1891 ]
