Endurance Quotes

Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.

To forget the war would be not just impossible, it would be immoral...It never goes away, it's something you have to endure the way you endured the war itself. There's no alternative. You can't wipe out these memories. You can't wipe out what you felt at that time or what you knew other people felt. It's part of your whole possession of life. And I suppose it does some good.

Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands.

He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good.

Who wants to know?
All that is gold, is rusted
No one will know
Seasons cease, to change, and..

How far we've gone
How far were going
So here and the now
And the love for the sound
Are the moments that keep us moving

Waves crash along
Battered lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow shes gone
And if not, some, they somehow
Are, these, hands, always

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

Although the hammer beats the anvil, it is the anvil which breaks the hammer. Never the other way around...
