When the heart is sick it cannot bear the slightest annoyance.

Indulgent gods, grant me to sin once with impunity. That is sufficient. Let a second offence bear its punishment.

Let those who have deserved their punishment, bear it patiently. [Lat., Aequo animo poenam, qui meruere, ferant.]

The sick mind can not bear anything harsh. [Lat., Mensque pati durum sustinet aegra nihil.]

Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.

It is not easy to bear prosperity unruffled.
