Suffer

Famous quotes containing the word suffer:

“Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.”
—John Masefield (1874–1967)

“For them it’s out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

“The path of things is silent. Will they suffer a speaker to go with them?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
