True Bearing

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or bearing:

    But this is a true saying among men: the gifts of enemies are no gifts and profitless.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    When we our betters see bearing our woes,
    We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
    Who alone suffers, suffers most i’ the mind,
    Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
    But then the mind much sufferance doth o’er skip,
    When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
