All I will say is that there are particular features of the American constitutional system that renders a third party futile - at best.
Todd Gitlin
Criticising the other fellow because he's in and you are not seems to me a futile waste of time.
Hartley William Shawcross
Death, only, renders hope futile.
Edgar Rice Burroghs
Every year the State will be the dog that chases its own tail... engaging in a futile attempt to close a perpetual budget gap.
Richard J. Codey
Happiness, I do not know where to turn to discover you on earth, in the air or the sky; yet I know you exist and are no futile dream.
Rosalia de Castro
I like to watch mankind in its futile attempt to understand the unknown, when they don't even understand that which they know.
Terrence Howard
I started studying what the nature of a monument is and what a monument should be. And for the World War III memorial I designed a futile, almost terrifying passage that ends nowhere.
Maya Lin
If family violence teaches children that might makes right at home, how will we hope to cure the futile impulse to solve worldly conflicts with force?
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
It didn't matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we'd found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: the missing half of ourselves. The real thing.
John Perry Barlow

Carl Andre
It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
Eric Hoffer

Charles Erwin Wilson
It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.

Hilaire Belloc
Our material eye cannot see that a stupid chauvinism is driving us from one noisy, destructive, futile agitation to another.
Anne Sullivan Macy
Power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile. This is a party of government, and I will lead it as a party of government.
Tony Blair
Television is a golden goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar. Anyway, more people like scrambled eggs than caviar.
Lee Loevinger
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
The moralist is the person who tells people that they ought to be unselfish, when they still feel like egos, and his efforts are always and invariably futile.
