Quotations
Suffering
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
-Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
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
