Famous quotes containing the word suffer:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
“I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Some give freely, yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 11:24.
