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.

Suffering
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
-Mother Teresa
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Helen Keller
