            In human works though labored on with pain,
            A thousand movements scarce one purpose gain;

      [1913 Webster]

   Note: Under common parliamentary rules used by many
         organizations, especially legislative bodies, a motion
         must be seconded in order to come properly before the
         deliberative body for discussion. Any motion[6] for
         which there is no second[8] dies for lack thereof.
