Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them.

Those who will bear much, shall have much to bear.

To bear is to conquer our fate.

The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing.

To bear means to support the weight of that which is held. It is a sacred trust to bear the priesthood, which is the mighty power and authority of God.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.

There is one Quality, which has somewhat so heavenly in it; that by so much the more we are possess'd of it, by so much the more we draw nearer to the Great Author of Nature.

For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.

The further you get from nature, the less happy you are; and the nearer, the more exultant you become over the world and all that there is in it.
