Souls in heathen darkness lying, where no light has broken through, souls that Jesus bought by dying, whom his soul in travail knew.... Haste, o haste and spread the tidings, let no shore be left untrod, no lost brother's bitter chidings haunt us from the further sod tell the heathen all the precious truths of God.
Cecil Frances Alexander
Image
But ah! what once has been shall be no more! The groaning earth in travail and in pain Brings forth its races, but does not restore, And the dead nations never rise again.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
It is somehow reassuring to discover that the word travel is derived from travail, denoting the pains of childbirth.
Jessica Mitford
Image
In spite of the pangs of travail, the longing for motherhood remains the most powerful instinct in woman.
Joseph Hertz
Image
Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
In working well, if travail you sustain, Into the wind shall lightly pass the pain But of the deed the glory shall remain, And cause your name with worthy wights to reign. In working wrong, if pleasure you attain, The pleasure soon shall fade, and void as vain But of the deed throughout the life the shame Endures, defacing you with foul defame.
Nicholas Grimald
Image
Disabused of our illusions by much travel and travail, we awaken one day to find that the sacred center is here and now - in every moment of the journey, everywhere in the world around us, and deep within our own hearts.
Parker J. Palmer
Image
The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The work of creation is never without travail.
T. S. Eliot
Image
[The married woman is] is a bonded slave, who takes her master's name, her master's bread, and serves her master's passion [and] who passes through the ordeal of pregnancy and the throes of travail at his dictation.
Voltairine de Cleyre
Image
In a world of travail and cheap wine the ridiculous becomes sublime
Ben Sidran
Image
Far travel, very far travel, or travail, comes near to the worth of staying at home.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail.
James A. Michener
Image
It is impossible to read for pleasure from something to which you are both father and mother, born in such travail that the writer despises the thing that enslaved him.
Jim Bishop
Image
But for failing love on our part, therefore is all our travail.
Julian of Norwich
Image
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!
Oswald J. Smith
Image
There is a meltdown of authority going on in the world and a corresponding increase of lawlessness. The earth itself is also going through travail to give birth to the messengers of power who are sent to prepare the way for the coming of the kingdom by preaching the gospel of the kingdom throughout the earth.
Rick Joyner
Image
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Image
Jews with unconventional identities should not have to wrestle alone at the intersection where their tradition seems to clash with their integrity as loving human beings. Like Moses responding to the travail of his brothers (Ex. 2:11), a caring halachic Jewish community should respond seriously to the heartfelt appeal of our contemporary sisters.

Thou Moon! Sun of the Night, Sister mystic of the Day Look down, pause in thy flight! Calm me with thy aural ray, Enchanting souls to silver sleep. Look down from out thy airy keep, My fevered senses hypnotize Shut out the World, whereto Mind flies-- Ambitious Mind, with travail sore Its fibre rest, its calm restore.
William Batchelder Greene
