Quotations
Suffering
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
- William Nicholson
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
- Paulo Coelho
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
- Sigmund Freud
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
- Scriptures
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
- A Spiritual Leader
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
- Deep Trivedi
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
- Meister Eckhart
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
