Charlotte Bronte Quotes
Take The Matter As You Find It Ask No Questions, Utter No Remonstrances; It Is Your Best Wisdom. You Expected Bread And You Have Got A Stone: Break Your Teeth On It, And Don't Shriek Because The Nerves Are Martyrised; Do Not Doubt That Your Mental Stomach - If You Have Such A Thing - Is Strong As An Ostrich's; The Stone Will Digest. You Held Out Your Hand For An Egg, And Fate Put Into It A Scorpion. Show No Consternation; Close Your Fingers Firmly Upon The Gift; Let It Sting Through Your Palm. Never Mind; In Time, After Your Hand And Arm Have Swelled And Quivered Long With Torture, The Squeezed Scorpion Will Die, And You Will Have Learned The Great Lesson How To Endure Without A Sob.
