will create nothing that endures.

Football is, honestly, so objectively bad that I have always been convinced that the only reason it is so ‘popular’ is some kind of mass conspiracy. Everyone who ‘likes’ it is just pretending to like it because they see other people ‘liking’ it, and now we are all forced to endure it.
Kat Timpf
We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public.

No hardy perennial has the enduring quality of hope. Cut it to the roots, stamp it underfoot, let frost and fire work their will, and still some valiant shoot will push, to grow again on such scanty fare as it can find. Only time and the cruel quicklime of fact can destroy that stubborn urgency.

Who speaks of conquering? To endure is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Lao Tzu
I always write knowing that people will hear it, but also hoping they’ll see it. So a lot of times I make lyrical decisions based on what looks better. Also I write based on what I saw for a video. I obsess over lyrics in the hopes that they’ll endure in different ways. I’m very precious about it.

Warren Sapp
There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.

L. Ron Hubbard
Our days of praise shall ne’er be past While life, and thought, and being last, And immortality endures.

Ernest Hemingway
I’m not alive. People believe memories grow vague, are erased by time, since nothing endures against the passage of time. That’s the difference; time does not pass over me, over us. It doesn’t erase anything, doesn’t undo it. I’m not a live. I died in Auschwitz but no one knows it.

There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary.

Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.

We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent-see, he’s jealous, he cares-a woman shows how much she cares by how much she’s willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure; how suicidal she’s prepared to be.
Andrea Dworkin

Reinhold Niebuhr

Oscar de la Renta
In fact, we will have to give up taking things for granted, even the apparently simple things. We have to learn to understand nature and not merely to observe it and endure what it imposes on us. Stupidity, from being an amiable individual defect, has become a social crime.

Cleve Jones
It’s the melody within the heart that helps us to endure.

Emile M. Cioran
In my experience, it is Affection that creates this taste, teaching us first to notice, then to endure, then to smile at, then to enjoy, and finally to appreciate the people who ‘happen to be there.’ Made for us?

C. S. Lewis
To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
As an athlete, you are literally programmed to endure a specific amount of pain.

Sam Ervin

A. C. Benson
On the Left, the best and brightest go into politics – Barack Obama is the epitome of the perfect leftist. On the Right, the best and brightest go make money. Very few conservatives want to endure all the nonsense you have to put up with to run for office.

Aldous Huxley
You say the gentleman I knew has been replaced. How I wish I could offer better comfort than to say that no matter how you have changed, you wil be welcomed when you return. Do what you must.

Garry Kasparov
All empires have depended on local legitimacy and local collaboration; they are not based primarily on coercion. An imperial rule that relies wholly on coercion can’t endure. It’s too expensive.

Please let us not interfere with the other’s work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage.

Margaret MacMillan
The truth about childhood, as many of us have had to endure it, is inconceivable, scandalous, painful. Not uncommonly, it is monstrous. Invariably, it is repressed.

The mind of a generation is its speech. A writer makes aspects of that speech enduring by putting them in print. He whittles at the words and phrases of today and makes of them forms to set the mind of tomorrow’s generation. That’s history. A writer who writes straight is the architect of history.
John Dos Passos
To my surprise, Joscelin rose. ‘Phedre-’ He began, then halted. Sitting below him, I watched him smile to himself, quiet and private. ‘Phedre yields with a willow’s grace,’ he said softly. ‘And endures with the strength of mountains. Without her, life would be calm; and yet lack all meaning.

Geoffrey Nunberg

Arthur Lynch
Things aren’t all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life

Quentin Tarantino

John Dewey
Some of us only meet in the most fleeting moments; some of us never meet, but still hear about one another and therefore cherish what we know from what we’ve heard, and mourn the loss, even though we’re spared what the close-loved ones must endure – the ongoing pain of an empty place in the heart for the rest of life.
Mimi Kennedy

To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world.

Brigham Young

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

William O. Douglas

The Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends mercy and pardons those who repent.

Hoyle’s enduring insights into stars, nucleosynthesis, and the large-scale universe rank among the greatest achievements of 20th-century astrophysics. Moreover, his theories were unfailingly stimulating, even when they proved transient.
Fred Hoyle

Thomas Carlyle
A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.

Thomas Malory
None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
Charles Spurgeon
What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them…we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring.

The fight against terrorism will not be over tomorrow or next month, or even next year. The fight will endure for years to come, and as the threat changes, so too must we adapt to these transformations.

Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham
In the late ’70s, the conditions that bands had to endure were, shall we say, not as civilized as they are today. People were a lot more aggressive back then. So there was definitely a lot of suffering for your art. But I would argue that was a good thing. Generally, people make better music when they suffer.
Peter Hook
I come from a military family. I understand the sacrifices they make and the struggles they endure.
Madison Cawthorn
Though sporting a hideous mustache is in no way comparable to the physical pain and mental suffering men with these diseases endure, Movember still forces participants to challenge their manhood on a daily basis.

Enduring habits I hate…. Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The houses of Heaven are God-built and are as enduring and incorruptible as their builder. We will have bodies after the resurrection; transfigured they will be after the model of Christs glorious body.
Edward McKendree Bounds

Christian Wiman
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
