Quotations
Suffering
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
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
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
...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"
There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.
-Antonio Porchia

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
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
