Weight Bearing

Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or bearing:

    I falter where I firmly trod,
    And falling with my weight of cares
    Upon the great world’s altar-stairs
    That slope thro’ darkness up to God,
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.
