Callous, adj. Gifted with great fortitude to bear the evils afflicting another.
Ambrose Bierce
» Ambrose Bierce - all quotes »
Very trifling circumstances do give great and daily annoyance, and as often prove too much for our philosophy and forbearance, as matters of the highest moment. ... The truth is, we pamper little griefs into great ones, and bear great ones as well as we can ... To great evils we submit; we resent little provocations.
William Hazlitt
The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g., some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.
Alexis Carrel
I believe in comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.
