A man does not fight to win; it is better to fight in vain.
It is vain futility to analyze the algebra of time.
And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.
Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labor in vain.
Plough not the seas, sow not the sands,Leave off your idle pain;Seek other mistress for your minds,Love's service is in vain.
Why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do?
You beat your Pate, and fancy Wit will come: Knock as you please, there's no body at home.
With stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain.
Twitter. It's not a good sound, is it? If it were worth doing, there would be a better word for it.
That which makes much noise and does nothing useful.
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
