George Lawson: “We make our burdens heavier than they ought to be by adding to them the weight of our own gloomy apprehensions; or we represent them heavier than we feel them to be by words that convey more meaning than they ought. Surely the troubles laid upon us are heavy enough to be borne. Why should we court unhappiness, and yet complain of it?” (The History of Joseph, p. 178).
