You bear the weight of the club's history on your shoulders, and you only become a true Red Devil once you understand this.

Patrice Evra

Yet it would be your duty to bear it, if you could not avoid it: it is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what it is your fate to be required to bear.

Charlotte Bronte

It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

John Owen

Russell M. Nelson

The bridge of grace will bear your weight, brother. Thousands of big sinners have gone across that bridge, yea, tens of thousands have gone over it. Some have been the chief of sinners and some have come at the very last of their days but the arch has never yielded beneath their weight. I will go with them trusting to the same support. It will bear me over as it has for them.

Charles Spurgeon

Thomas Paine

The rich are too indolent, the poor too weak, to bear the insupportable fatigue of thinking.

Bear in mind, my children, that only cowards and those who are weak commit sin and tell lies. The brave are always moral. Try to be moral, try to be brave, try to be sympathising.

Swami Vivekananda

It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

John Owen

You can bear your troubles or shrug them off. They're your shoulders.

Robert Breault
