Quotes about Endurance

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.

Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it's unendurable Ãƒ¢Ã¢'¬Ã‚¦ then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature. 4.
— Marcus Aurelius
