Quotations
Suffering
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
- Arthur J. Russell
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

- Deep Trivedi

- William Nicholson
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
