Quotes about Burden

And disapproves that care, though wise in show,
That with superfluous burden loads the day,
And when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.

Sacred to ridicule his whole life long,
And the sad burden of some merry song.

Has frisk'd beneath the burden of threescore.

If no one cares for me.

All we have built do we discern.
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.

Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,

The burdened hearts of men!
Not on the cloud, but on the rock.
