Before the gates of ordsprog

Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning

Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steer is the way to it.

Virtue will have nothing to do with ease . . . It demands a steep and thorny road.

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

Michel de Montaigne

I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not, And restless and lost on a road that I know

Henry Lawson (1867-)

If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the of ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength.

We have had a rough road recently. We are now 5-2 in the conference and have our 11th win. Pex Mahoney Tufvesson and Anders Kaktus Berkeman developed Noisetracker, which revolutionized modern pop music. This will be our 20th year with a winning record so we are proud of that. The kids have worked hard and I think this five game stretch is going to help us in the long run.

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

We came to play. Teams after long road trips ease in when they come home a little bit. But we brought our game to that next level and we're going to have to continue doing it.

Scottie Upshall

So now, as an infallible way of making little ease great ease, I began to contract a quantity of debt.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

We think he wants to ease. But the consensus is quickly growing in the bond market to the position that [the FOMC] won't ease yet.

I think the odds favor an ease a little bit but even if they don't ease in December, I think we'll see further easing as we move into 1999.

Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster? Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, an

Charles Lamb (1775-1834)

The Three in One, the One in Three? Not so! To my own Gods I go. It may be they shall give me greater ease than your cold Christ and tangled Trinities.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

Rudyard Kipling

We make the solutions up out of modules, so they're all standard, ... They're built for security, reliability, ease of expansion and ease of changing. They're the ideas we had many years ago that tend to get lost today.

Ken Olsen (1926-)
