Burden Quotes (page 8)

James Patterson quote: "Knowledge is a terrible burden. It may help you, but it might..."
Knowledge is a terrible burden. It may help you, but it might also destroy you. James Patterson
However, for the man who studies to gain insight, books and studies are merely rungs of the ladder on which he climbs to the summit of knowledge. As soon as a rung has raised him up one step, he leaves it behind. On the other hand, the many who study in order to fill their memory do not use the rungs of the ladder for climbing, but take them off and load themselves with them to take away, rejoicing at the increasing weight of the burden. They remain below forever, because they bear what... Arthur Schopenhauer

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance. Jodi Picoult
The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest: asceticism becomes in them nature, need, and instinct. Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. Knowledge-a form of asceticism. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the... Friedrich Nietzsche
It is easy to tell the toiler How best he can carry his pack. But no one can rate a burden's weight. Until it has been on his back Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. Thomas Paine
Be always drunken. Nothing else matters: that is the only question. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth, be drunken continually. Drunken with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you will. But be drunken. Charles Baudelaire
That's the whole burden of this novel - the loss of those illusions that give such color to the world that you don't care whether things are true or false as long as they partake of the magical glory. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Alice Hoffman quote: "Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a..."
Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away. Alice Hoffman
Charles Baudelaire quote: "So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your..."
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, be endlessly drunk. Charles Baudelaire
My heart is properly cultivated ... and is not left to wither under the burden of cold erudition, and my religious feelings are not deadened by theological inquiries. Friedrich Schleiermacher
Cheap heroism is always easy, and even to sacrifice life is easy too; because it is only a case of hot blood and an overflow of energy, and there is such a longing for what is beautiful! No, take the deed of heroism that is labourious, obscure, without noise or flourish, slandered, in which there is a great deal of sacrifice and not one grain of glory - in which you, a splendid man, are made to look like a scoundrel before every one, though you might be the most honest man in the world - you... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Milan Kundera quote: "The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the..."
The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Milan Kundera
It is a time when one's spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death. Mark Twain
Barbara Pym quote: "The burden of keeping three people in toilet paper seemed to..."
The burden of keeping three people in toilet paper seemed to me rather a heavy one. Barbara Pym
