Quote by William Shakespeare

'Tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow; But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself

'Tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of people to offer comforting words of patience to those who are suffering while struggling to embody the same patience when facing similar hardships themselves. It suggests that although it is common for individuals to advise others with moral support when they are burdened with sorrow, it takes true virtue and capability to maintain that same level of morality and patience when one is personally going through difficult times. In essence, it speaks to the challenge of practicing what we preach when confronted with our own trials.
