endurance

May the Lord grant you grace to endure the times.

Endure graciously the difficult times.

Endure every hardship as a discipline of grace.

If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.

Only a man who has his health, a full stomach and wears clean clothes would ever entertain the notion of tracking down the greatest lost city on Earth.

The porters could always be coaxed to continue a little further through driving rain by the mere suggestion of a Pot Noodle at the end.

Previous experience had taught me that any expedition marches on its stomach.

The situation was different in the jungle. Every inch of ground had to be earned, and was done so through much exertion with the blade.

A celebrity farts, and everyone endures, but the unpopular will be thrased to death.

The pain you endure today will lead to a better tomorrow. Don't dwell so much on the pain but focus on the lessons learned. There in lies your strength to rise above all odds. Your best is yet to come.

I have always admired brave men and women who endured the test time.

In any situation, you only need the strength of endurance.

All too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way.

It is the hardest thing of all, the one thing that will show if you have the one true courage. To know that you have failed, that your best efforts have been defeated, to not be able to stand it, to not be able to go on and yet to go on nonetheless.

The end always doesn't justify the means you used to reach there.

You should be patient to wait for what you want.

Jamie reflected that if he purposely went down to the crags of the Pacific and threw himself to the sharks, when he came before God and his father and mother, he could carry no smiling secret on his face. He would not have kept the faith. He would have broken the laws of God and man. He would have allowed frail woman to surpass him in courage, in endurance. He shut his eyes to close out even the imagined look on his mother's face. So right there Jamie crossed off the Pacific from his scheme of release.

It is easy to smile in the face of a challenge, when we believe in ourselves that we won't back down.
