Easiness Quotes

I am certain that Jesus understood the difficulty inherent in the act of loving one's enemy. He never joined the ranks of those who talk glibly about the easiness of the moral life. He realized that every genuine expression of love grows out of a consistent and total surrender to God. So when Jesus said "love your enemy," he was not unmindful of its stringent qualities. Yet he meant every word of it. Our responsibility as Christians is to discover the meaning of this command and seek passionately to live it out in our daily lives. View quote
Martin Luther King Jr.

Maxine Hong Kingston
Refrain tonight, and that shall lend a hand of easiness to the next abstinence the next more easy for use can almost change the stamp of nature, and either curb the devil, or throw him out with wondrous potency. View quote
William Shakespeare
The Circle is a Geometrical Line, not because it may be express'd by an Æquation, but because its Description is a Postulate. It is not the Simplicity of the Æquation, but the Easiness of the Description, which is to determine the Choice of our Lines for the Construction of Problems. View quote
