Faculty Quotes
-

Thomas Carlyle
-
Patience is, therefore, the faculty of enduring a painful sensation, and yet looking confidently and steadily to the period when that sensation shall cease.
William Pinnock
-

Stephen Fry
-

Thomas Wentworth Higginson
-
It is not ignoble to feel that the fuller life which a sad experience has brought us is worth our personal share of pain. The growth of higher feeling within us is like the growth of faculty, bringing with it a sense of added strength.

George Eliot
