Quotations for shirk

You shall not shirk the hobbling Times to catch a ride on the sure-footed Eternities. The times (as Carlyle says) are bad; very well, you are there to make them better. [ John Burroughs ]

Pain and love are the portion of the man who does not like a coward shirk the world's destiny; if he plucks the arrow from his breast, he becomes as one dead for the world and God. [ N. Lenau ]
