Quotations for strives

Man is liable to err as long as he strives. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

What tragic wastes of gloom
Curtain the soul that strives and sins below! [ R. Garnet ]

The man strives after freedom, the woman after good manners. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Emulation admires and strives to imitate great actions; envy is only moved to malice. [ Balzac ]

Adversity tries men, and virtue strives for glory through adverse circumstances, undeterred by hard obstacles. [ Silius Italicus ]

That elevation of mind which we see in moments of peril, if it is uncontrolled by justice, and strives only for its own advantage, becomes a crime. [ Cicero ]

Emulation is a handsome passion; it is enterprising, but just withal. It keeps a man within the terms of honor, and makes the contest for glory just and generous. He strives to excel, but it is by raising himself, not by depressing others. [ Jeremy Collier ]
