Famous quotes containing the words bear and/or cross:
“In such a time as this it is not meet
That every nice offence should bear his comment.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
