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
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
...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"
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
-Paulo Coelho
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
