Famous quotes containing the word load:

    “‘Tis all men’s office to speak patience
    To those that wring under the load of sorrow,
    But no man’s virtue nor sufficiency
    To be so moral when he shall endure
    The like himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Rich are the sea-gods:Mwho gives gifts but they?
    They grope the sea for pearls, but more than pearls:
    They pluck Force thence, and give it to the wise.
    Every wave is wealth to Daedalus,
    Wealth to the cunning artist who can work
    This matchless strength. Where shall he find, O waves!

    “The only human beings I have thoroughly admired and respected in the world have been those who carried the load of the world with a smile, and who, in the face of anxieties that would have knocked me clean out, never showed a tremor. Such men and women end by owning us, soul and body, and our allegiance can never be shaken. We are only too glad to be owned. Religion is nothing but this.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
