training endurance

Now I have to become an endurance-animal. Websters says: Latin *indurare, from Latin, to harden, from in- + durare to harden (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/endure).

transitive verb

1 : to undergo (as a hardship) especially without giving in

2 : to regard with acceptance or tolerance

intransitive verb

1 : to continue in the same state

2 : to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding

Best endurance quotes I found:

"Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

"He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good." Jewish Proverb

" VALIDI DURANT" - the strong endure (Latin)
