It might be lonelier Without the Loneliness - I’m so accustomed to my Fate - Perhaps the Other - Peace - Would interrupt the Dark - And crowd the little Room - Too scant - by Cubits - to contain The Sacrament - of Him - I am not used to Hope - It might intrude upon - Its sweet parade - blaspheme the place - Ordained to Suffering - It might be easier To fail - with Land in Sight - Than gain - My Blue Peninsula - To perish - of Delight -

Emily Dickinson

The Lord has not redeemed you so you might enjoy pleasures and luxuries or so that you might abandon yourself to ease and indolence, but rather so you should be prepared to endure all sorts of evils.

John Calvin

Something might be true while being harmful and dangerous in the highest degree. Indeed, it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the 'truth' one could still barely endure- or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Brutality is sometimes easier to endure than ridicule.

Patricia Moyes

A lean purse is easier to cure than to endure.

George S. Clason

The way in which you endure that which you must endure is more important than the crisis itself.

Harry S. Truman

I must endure & endure & still endure.

Tennessee Williams

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.

Marianne Williamson

To think of enduring to the end as ‘hanging in there,’ doing one’s duty relentlessly, is not inaccurate. Yet enduring to the end is more than outlasting and surviving, though it includes those qualities. We are called upon, as was the Prophet Joseph, to ‘endure it well,’ gracefully, not grudgingly. (D&C 121:8.) We are also told that we must ‘endure in faith.’ (D&C 101:35.) These dimensions of enduring are important to note. Likewise, we are asked to endure ‘valiantly.’ (D&C 121:29.)

Neal A. Maxwell

It is easier to endure than to change. But once one has changed, what was endured is hard to recall.

Susan Sontag

It was much easier for me to endure the belittling than it was to watch my dad get belittled.

George W. Bush

In the world today, the way the media is, you're going to have to endure a lot. The question is, can you endure it?

Joel Glazer

Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense.

Mignon McLaughlin

We can endure almost anything if we are centered, if we have some focus in our life. You can endure if you have an anchor.

Renita J. Weems

Perhaps our Irish friends should not so completely turn their backs on their historical dishes, no matter how many jokes they might have to endure.

Nick Clooney

You've heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There's an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.

Frank Herbert
