“Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.”
Marlene Dietrich
“If you would keep your Secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.”
Benjamin Franklin
“A wretched soul bruised with adversity,We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;But were we burdened with like weight of pain,As much, or more, we should ourselves complain.”
William Shakespeare
“Everyone thinks his own burden heavy”
French Proverb
“The collective conscience of a hundred musicians is no light burden. Think for a moment of what it would mean to a pianist if by some miracle every key of his instrument should suddenly become a living thing.”
Charles Munch
“Deaf, giddy, helpless, left alone, To all my friends a burden grown; No more I hear my church's bell Than if it rang out for my knell; At thunder now no more I start Than at the rumbling of a cart”
Jonathan Swift
“Nothing is as burdensome as a secret. French Proverb”
