-Paulo Coelho
Quotations
Suffering
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-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
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
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
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
-Thomas Guthrie
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
