Sweat Tears

Famous quotes containing the words sweat and/or tears:

    “They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
    They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
    They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
    Not one is dissatisfied—not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
    Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of
    years ago,
    Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
