Quote

It is right to endure with resignation what the gods send, and to face one's enemies with courage.

We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.

Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open-eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.

If I know my own heart, I do now feel the necessity of resigning myself into the hands of my God, to mould and guide me at His will; tho I dare not say that I am, at present, willing to do it.

I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.

Renunciation remains sorrow, though a sorrow borne willingly.

Discontent with this world gives such a painful longing to quit it that, if the heart finds comfort, it is solely from the thought that God wishes it to remain here in banishment.

I don't have any intention of resigning.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.
