![“[On the camel:] When it kneels to be laden it always grumbles, growls and shows resentment, but of this the driver takes no notice. He goes on loading up until the moment when the beast suddenly becomes silent; then he knows that the burden is heavy enough, and nothing more is added.” quote by Mildred Cable](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ce1/mildred-cable-47598_beast_on-the-camel-when-it-kneels-to-be-laden_2276307.jpg)
