A Quote by Elizabeth Strout

I would hope that my readers feel a sense of awe at the quality of human endurance, at the endurance of love in the face of a variety of difficulties; that the quotidian life is not always easy, and is something worthy of respect.

There is nothing love cannot face; there is limit to its faith, its hope and endurance.

Paul the Apostle

Character produces endurance and persistence when the going gets tough, and life truly is an endurance race, not a sprint.

Zig Ziglar

endurance of inescapable sorrow is something which has to be learned alone. And only to endure is not enough. Endurance can be a harsh and bitter root in one's life, bearing poisonous and gloomy fruit, destroying other lives. Endurance is only the beginning. There must be acceptance and the knowledge that sorrow fully accepted brings its own gifts. For there is an alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmuted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness.

Pearl S. Buck

I can still be 200 kilograms but still have enough endurance for strongman - I feel like if I get much heavier than that it's going to affect my endurance a lot.

Hafthor Bjornsson

The human quality Degas most admired was endurance.

John Berger

Patience is only one faculty; earnestness the devotion of all the faculties. Earnestness is the cause of patience; it gives endurance, overcomes pain, strengthens weakness, braves dangers, sustains hope, makes light of difficulties, and lessens the sense of weariness in overcoming them.

Christian Nestell Bovee

Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest.

Christopher McDougall

Endurance cannot be produced by determination alone; endurance is a product of physical exercise.

Len Smith

Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.

Oswald Chambers

We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord.

Michael Novak

In Formula 1, you need a great level of endurance because the races are long, so you need a pretty good base endurance.

Daniel Ricciardo

I am in limbo, and in limbo there are no races, no prizes, no changes, no chances. There are merely degrees of endurance, and endurance never was my strong point.

Keri Hulme

The difference between shallow happiness and a deep, sustaining joy is sorrow. Happiness lives where sorrow is not. When sorrow arrives, happiness dies. It can't stand pain. Joy, on the other hand, rises from sorrow and therefore can withstand all grief. Joy, by the grace of God, is the transfiguration of suffering into endurance, and of endurance into character, and of character into hope--and the hope that has become our joy does not (as happiness must for those who depend up on it) disappoint us.

Walter Wangerin

The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.

Swami Vivekananda

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.

Blaise Pascal

Endurance is the crowning quality.

James Russell Lowell
