day no. 15,389: suffer like a man

"You must keep your head clear. Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man. Or a fish, he thought." -- Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

There is way of suffering that betrays manhood. A man must suffer well. If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. If you whimper and whine when the suffering comes, your resolve is without resolution.

Proverbs 24:10

If thou faint in the day of adversity,

thy strength is small.
