Suffer Quotes

We never know how much one loves till we know how much he is willing to endure and suffer for us; and it is the suffering element that measures love.

To hold our nature in the willing service of another is the divine idea of manhood, of the human character.
Henry Ward Beecher

The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fells like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.
J. R. R. Tolkien
