Bear one another's burdens. [ St. Paul ]
Light burdens carried far grow heavy. [ French and Ger. Proverb ]
Strive
In offices of love how me may lighten
Each other's burden. [ Milton ]

He who weighs his burdens, can bear them. [ Martial ]

So work the honey-bees;
Creatures, that by a rule in nature teach
The art of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king and officers of sorts;
Where some, like magistrates, correct at home;
Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad;
Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings,
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds;
Which pillage they, with merry march, bring home.
To the tent royal of their emperor;
Who, busied in his majesty, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of gold;
The civil citizens kneading up the honey;
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate;
The sad-ey'd justice, with his surly hum.
Delivering over to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone. [ William Shakespeare ]
How many weak shoulders have craved heavy burdens! [ Joubert ]
Love one time layeth burdens, another time giveth wings. [ Sir P. Sidney ]
Many rise under their burdens, more like camels than palm trees. [ Proverb ]
Resignation is the name of the angel who carries most of our soul's burdens, [ J. L. Basford ]
Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. [ Johnson ]
The best system of education is that which draws its chief support from the voluntary effort of the community, from the individual efforts of citizens, and from those burdens of taxation which they voluntarily impose upon themselves. [ Garfield ]
The greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptations from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God, is most unfaltering. [ William Ellery Channing ]
