A Quote by Richard Burton

I've got the weight of a rather tempestuous life to carry. — © Richard Burton
I've got the weight of a rather tempestuous life to carry.
Men who have a tempestuous inner life and do not seek to give vent to it by talking or writing are simply men who have no tempestuous inner life. Give company to a lonely man and he will talk more than anyone.
When you have a white male making the arguments, they carry more weight... Should they carry more weight? Absolutely not. But do they? Yes.
Reinforced concrete buildings are by nature skeletal buildings. No noodles nor armoured turrets. A construction of girders that carry the weight, and walls that carry no weight. That is to say, buildings consisting of skin and bones.
Each one of us continues to carry the heart of each self we've ever been, at every stage along the way, and a chaos of everything good and rotten. And we have to carry this weight all alone, through each day that we live. We try to be as nice as we can to the people we love, but we alone support the weight of ourselves.
We all have a cross to carry. I have to carry my own cross. If we don't carry our crosses, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.
Although I'm shorter, all of my weight I carry in my back and my butt. That's where most of my weight is.
...Each secret you carry has a weight all its own. They add up, secrets, to a burden you must carry all your days.
A lot of writers don't know what it feels like to get on stage. They don't understand the weight that songs can carry. I got a chance to play all these shows. I got a chance to define myself through music, so when it comes to helping other people figure out what they should say, I've been through it.
From 1997 through 1999, I had gained so much. People don't realize how something like weight gain can make you sad. Losing weight has changed my life. If you can take control of your life, you can lose weight.
I've gained a seriousness that has to do with a certain perspective, a gratitude for being able to see the importance of things. And that lends itself a gravity to everything. And that is something that I sort of carry as a weight but a good weight inside of me.
I feel like we put all the weight on the president, rather than distributing the weight to all of the elected officials.
I'd much rather put on weight than have to lose weight.
If it's time to let go, JUST LET GO. You can't carry on through life with extra weight on your conscience.
How much weight you can carry in your mind will determine how far you can go in life!
It may be that what you could be haunts you. It is real. It is a weight you have to carry around. Each failure to become, to be, is a weight. Each state you could inhabit is a burden as heavy as any physical weight, but more so, because it weighs on your soul. It is the ghost of your possibilities hanging around your neck, an invisible albatros, potentials unknowingly murdered.
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
