“I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.”
Oprah Winfrey
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“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
“Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.”
Abraham Lincoln
“I've voiced that opinion, but I don't think that the taxpayers should be burdened with a huge cost if in fact that's what it is to build it downtown.”
Gene Shull
“This is an enormous burden to impose on our taxpayers, who would be responsible for paying the refund, and the benefit will go to National Grid.”
Howard Weitzman
“Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
