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)
“God’s Son went home. Among us it is whispered
He cried the tears of men.
Feeling, in fact,
We have no need of peace.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
