Quotations for load

All lay load on the willing horse. [ Proverb ]

Good is that darkening of our lives.
Which only God can brighten;
But better still that hopeless load.
Which none but God can lighten. [ Frederick William Faber ]

With what a heavy and retarding weight
Does expectation load the wing of time. [ Mason ]

Since you will buckle fortune on my back;
To bear her burden whe'r I will or no,
I must have patience to endure the load. [ William Shakespeare ]

Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load. [ C. H. Parkhurst ]

Existence may be borne, and the deep root
Of life and sufferance make its firm abode
In bare and desolate bosoms: mute
The camel labors with the heaviest load.
And the wolf dies in silence: Not bestowed
In vain should such examples be; if they.
Things of ignoble or of savage mood,
Endure and shrink not, we of nobler clay
May temper it to bear - it is but for a day. [ Byron ]

The ass bears the load, but not the overload. [ Cervantes ]

To fall away from a horse load to a cart load. [ Proverb ]

The careful insect 'midst his works I view,
Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew.
With golden treasures load his little thighs,
And steer his distant journey through the skies. [ Gay ]

One grain of pepper is worth a cart load of hail. [ Proverb ]

Oh! liberty, thou goddess, heavenly bright.
Profuse of bliss, and pregnant with delight!
Eternal pleasures in thy presence reign.
And smiling plenty, leads thy wanton train;
Eased of her load, subjection grows more light
And poverty looks cheerful in the sight;
Thou makest the gloomy face of nature gay,
Giv'st beauty to the sun, and pleasure to the day. [ Addison ]

Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit,
Or what is worse, be left by it?
Why dost thou load thyself when thou 'rt to fly.
Oh, man! ordained to die?
Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high,
Thou who art under ground to lie?
Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see.
For death, alas! is reaping thee. [ Cowley ]

A hundred load of thought will not pay one of debts. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

The diamond, though small, is a heavy load for a poor man to carry. [ Ejik ]

An ass that carries a load, is better than a lion that devours men. [ Proverb ]

A great load of gold is more burdensome than a light load of gravel. [ Proverb ]

Successful love takes a load off our hearts, and puts it upon our shoulders, [ Bovee ]

Belief and love, - a believing love, will relieve us of a vast load of care. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

The vulgar refuse or crouch beneath their load; the brave bear theirs without repining. [ Mallet ]

Vulgar minds refuse to crouch beneath their load; the brave bear theirs without repining. [ Thomson ]

I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth. I hate to see a load of bandboxes go along the street, and I hate to see a parcel of big words without anything in them. [ Hazlitt ]

Gratitude is never conferred but where there have been previous endeavours to excite it; we consider it as a debt, and our spirits wear a load till we have discharged the obligation. [ Goldsmith ]

Grief, like night, is salutary. It cools down the soul by putting out its feverish fires; and if it oppresses her, it also compresses her energies. The load once gone, she will go forth with greater buoyancy to new pleasures. [ Dr. Pulsford ]

I can still recall old Mister Barnslow getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to the old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped he'd yell out, Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner! We all thought he was crazy. But then we had some growing up to do. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]

They that have read about everything are thought to understand everything too; but it is not always so. Reading furnishes the mind only with the materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections, - we must I chew them over again. [ Channing ]
