  That I was burned and blinded by the desert sun;
  Footsore, thirsty, sick with strange diseases;
  Lonely and wet and cold, but that I kept my dream!

• Sweet pliability of man's spirit, that can at once surrender itself to illusions, which cheat expectation and sorrow of their weary moments! - long - long since had ye numbered out my days, had I not trod so great a part of them upon this enchanted ground. When my way is too rough for my feet, or too steep for my strength, I get off it, to some smooth velvet path which fancy has scattered over with rose-buds of delights; and have taken a few turns on it, come back strengthened and refreshed.

• The truth is we all get tired, we all get weary. In fact, if you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small. If you never feel like quitting, then you need to set some larger goals. When that pressure comes to get discouraged and to think about how you can’t take it anymore, that is completely normal. Every person feels that way at times.

  Joel Osteen

• Of no distemper, of no blast he died,
  But fell like autumn fruit that mellow'd long:
  Even wonder'd at, because he dropp'd no sooner.
  Fate seem'd to wind him up for fourscore years;
  Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more;
  Till like a clock worn out with eating time,
  The wheels of weary life at last stood still.

• In order to be able thus to misjudge, and thus to grant left-handed veneration to our classics, people must have ceased to know them. This, generally speaking, is precisely what has happened. For, otherwise, one ought to know that there is only one way of honoring them, and that is to continue seeking with the same spirit and with the same courage, and not to weary of the search.

• And sometimes when I am weary,
  When the path is thorny and Wild,
  I'll look back to the Eyes in the twilight,
  Back to the eyes that smiled.
  And pray that a wreath like a rainbow
  May slip from the beautiful past,
  And Crown me again with the sweet, strong love
  And keep me, and hold me fast.

• Paris was sad. One of the saddest towns: weary of its now-mechanical sensuality, weary of the tension of money, money, money, weary even of resentment and conceit, just weary to death, and still not sufficiently Americanized or Londonized to hide the weariness under a mechanical jig-jig-jig!

• If I had my way, I would build a lethal chamber as big as the Crystal Palace, with a military band playing softly, and a Cinematograph working brightly; then I'd go out in the back streets and main streets and bring them in, all the sick, the halt, and the maimed; I would lead them gently, and they would smile me a weary thanks; and the band would softly bubble out the 'Hallelujah Chorus'.
